Kaniz
Ethiopia - Age 1
"Say Ah. Good boy," Dr. Tesfaye told Kaniz while examining his recently treated palate. Kaniz returned to CURE Children's Hospital of Ethiopia after healing from his previous cleft lip surgery and most recent cleft palate surgery. His surgeon, Dr. Tesfaye, was pleased to see Kaniz's progress and wrote, "Kaniz's cleft palate has healed well, and his condition has improved," as his assessment. Praise God for Kaniz's healing, and thank you, CURE friends and strategic partner Smile Train, for your generous gifts of love that made it happen. Kaniz will return to the hospital for another check-up in January next year. Please send him home with your prayers and well wishes.
Baby
Ethiopia - Infant
Thank you for the beautiful messages you've sent to Baby. This little cutie and her mom, Eyerus, stopped by CURE Children's Hospital of Ethiopia for a check-up with Dr. Tesfaye. We're happy to report that Baby's treated lip is healing well and in good shape. Before Baby and Eyerus left, Dr. Tesfaye advised Eyerus to massage Baby's lip to minimize scarring. The next time Baby returns to the hospital, she will be ready for the second phase of her cleft treatment, cleft palate surgery. Thank you, CURE friends and partners, for your support that makes Baby's healing possible. Please continue supporting her through your gifts of love and prayers until she is entirely disability-free! God bless you!
Surafel
Ethiopia - Infant
Thank you for keeping Surafel in your thoughts and prayers while he recovered from his cleft lip surgery at home. This adorable little guy recently visited CURE Children's Hospital of Ethiopia for a check-up, and we're glad to see his treated lip healing well. Surafel will continue healing from home and return to the hospital in a few months for another check-up. Thank you, CURE friends and strategic partner Smile Train, for sponsoring Surafel's cleft lip. Please continue supporting Surafel's comprehensive cleft treatment until he is finally disability-free!
Mikias
Ethiopia - Age 18
Look who's here! Mikias recently stopped by CURE Children's Hospital of Ethiopia for a check-up after two years of healing from home. This young man came with his grandma and was excited to show his progress. After greeting Mikias enthusiastically, Dr. Tesfaye took Mikias's left leg and examined his big toe. Mikias's big toe was slightly bent, so Dr. Tesfaye showed him some physical exercises to help straighten it. Mikias will return to the hospital for another check-up in April next year. Please keep him in your thoughts and prayers until then. Thank you!
Baby
Ethiopia - Age 1
"No nasal regurgitation. His cleft lip and palate have healed well," wrote Dr. Tesfaye after examining Baby. Baby recently came to CURE Children's Hospital of Ethiopia for a check-up, and we're so happy his surgeon, Dr. Tesfaye, had only good things to say about his progress. Baby is almost at the end of his comprehensive treatment, so please keep him in your thoughts and prayers until he crosses the finish line. Thank you!
