XiaoJian

Donor Report #1077-MP

XiaoJian is a boy who was born in eastern China.  He traveled to the China Care Home because a
weakness in his abdominal wall developed into a hole where fat tissue and organs were protruding. To correct this condition he needed hernia surgery, a relatively common operation, which would help to ensure XiaoJian’s long-term health.

XiaoJian had hernia surgery this past winter. Since the operation, he is been recovering well. XiaoJian likes to play with different toys while sitting on his bed. XiaoJian is a hearty eater and when his nanny feeds him he holds onto th feeding bottle or bowl and eats quickly. After he is full, he pushes away the bottle or bowl. When his nanny interacts with him, he giggles and babbles to communicate with her. Xiaojian can sit on his own, and he can stand while holding onto the wall or his nanny’s hands. The medical staff felt that XiaoJian’s abdominal condition was more of a priority than his cleft lip, so it was corrected first, but he now almost ready for the lip repair surgery.

ChaoFan

Half the Sky China Care is sponsoring a new child, ChaoFan!

ChaoFan is a boy born in southern China with glaucoma.  Glaucoma is an eye disease in which the optic nerve is damaged.  It is usually associated with increased fluid pressure in the eye, and can lead to permanent vision damage and even blindness if left untreated.   ChaoFan has glaucoma in both eyes, and needs surgery to arrest the deterioration of his vision.  The operation will treat the eye’s trabecular meshwork (the eye’s drainage system) and clear any clogged drainage canals.

Join with us to save not only his eyes, but also the childhood he deserves.
