Jose, our
COTA patient with a large facial AV
malformation, traveled to NYC a few weeks ago. His foster mother, Margaret, and her daughter accompanied Jose to Roosevelt Hospital to seek the medical opinion of
internationally renowned pediatric AV
malformation specialists. It was a busy and eventful trip for Jose, and resulted in the donation of care of three specialists who agreed to surgically correct the
malformation that has challenged Jose's
COTA caretakers.
Jose, who took was oblivious to being in one of the most famous cities in the world, has traveled far from home (western Guatemala) to obtain surgical
intervention. He is seen above, riding in Central Park at the end of a long day of medical
appointments-still smiling and happy to be heading to
FAO Schwartz toy store.
