Loudes, seen below with host parents Bobby and Lisa, has triumphed through 9 weeks of hospitalization, and is resting in her foster home in western KY. The dedication of the Shriners staff was amazing as they worked through all of the issues involved in getting Lourdes through her physical therapy, in-hospital schooling needs, wound care management and ambulation training.
We could not have asked for a better situation for this child with her complicated leg bone surgical needs. Lourdes is scheduled to fly home in mid-December to a family that will be amazed at her maturity, new health and English skills. Bobby and Lisa are to be commended for their dedication to the many needs Lourdes had while she has been here.
