Positive Thoughts

It’s a busy time for HSCV. We continue to put the pieces of the puzzle together for Thao. It seems the next big hurdle will be to get the American Embassy to issue Thao and her father VISAs the the US. We are doing everything possible to insure they receive them however there is always a chance the Embassy will deny Thao request to visit the US for treatment. Positive thoughts everyone!
In addition to Thao’s we continue to push forward with other children in our programs. This past weekend a young girl named Quỳnh checked into the Ha Noi Heart Hospital. She has been diagnoses with Fallots 4. This is one of the most serious heart conditions we commonly run across with our Healing Hearts Program. As the name states this condition affects four areas of the heart. Only major reconstructive surgery can correct the problems. Quỳnh’s condition is more severe than many other cases. The Doctors have asked Quỳnh to wait for foreign arrive to evaluate and then hopefully perform the surgery.
Doctor’s from France arrive in Ha Noi this week and they will examine Quỳnh within the next few days. At that time we will learn if surgery will be possible for Thao. Positive thoughts everyone!
