Jose moves to his new foster home
Jose, who you will remember as having the large AV malformation of his face, was transferred to his new foster home in Cherry Hill, NJ on June 20th. His long-term stay with Margaret and Scott in Tennessee was a wonderful and nurturing environment, but their home was a long way from Roosevelt/St.Luke's Hospital in New York City. Jose is scheduled for his final surgical revision of his facial tumor on July 22, and COTA foster parents Beverly and Warren agreed to host him. This will allow Jose easier access to his surgeons in NYC, and will make the post-operative course less concerning in case of medical care issues. Beverly, an RN, and Warren, who is an OB/Gyn surgeon, have fostered three other children for COTA, and are well-versed in the issues of fostering a medically-fragile child. Shown above in Warren's plane, Jose is preparing to enjoy is first-ever ride in a private plane.
