About Domingo
When Domingo walked into our clinic a few weeks ago, the doctors told me there was something special about him. They could not have gotten it more correct.
Domingo was not born bowed legs, but rather, developed them as a result of Blount's Disease. This condition typically effects both legs and starts manifesting when a child starts walking upright before their bones are able to support their weight.
When Domingo was 2, his mother said she noticed distinct differences in the way he walked and carried his weight. She took him to every doctor in Santiago, a nearby town to Santo Domingo [the capital and site of CURE Dominican Republic], and everyone sent her home because there was no way she could pay, and they were right.
Finally, at the last hospital she went to, Domingo's mother prayed for help. She prayed someone would save her baby. She prayed for his life and her own life, that this disability would be a blessing and not a curse. And the very next day, not only were they referred to CURE, but we admitted them for Domingo's surgery!
Please pray for the children at CURE Dominican, and continue to pray for the staff and other supporters, as the Lord continues to bring healing to their bodies as well at their hearts!

Tuesday October 30, 2012 - Day 5Domingo is scheduled for followup at CURE Dominican Republic
Saturday October 6, 2012 - Day 4He is doing great!! I have become very accustomed to walking up the stairs to check on him in his bed, and finding him asleep nine times out of ten. This definitely is not a bad thing though! He is well rested, and comfortable here at CURE. When he is awake, he tries to get up, and quickly realizes that this is no bueno. So instead, his mom told me that he has become very expressive, using a lot of hand signals to communicate. I will continue to keep everyone posted, and as of now, he is set to be discharged tomorrow!

Day 2And he's out of surgery! Things were slow but successful as Dr. Ruggles & Dr. Santana used a mobile X-ray machine to identify placement for an external fixator device in Domingo's left tibia bone. His right leg wasn't as severe, so he only needed a small pin in that leg. Now on to recovery road, and prayers would definitely be appreciated! http://bit.ly/PTBXws
