Successful Surgery for Evelin By Steven Rice, Jr. On Tuesday, May 15, 2007, the neurologists were able to successfully insert a shunt into the head of Little Evelin Suleymi Coc. They also did surgery on her back to reduce some of the tissue mass that she has due to Spina Bifida. It was also necessary for her to have another operation on her back and this was completed on Tuesday, May 29th. She recuperated a few additional weeks in the national hospital in Guatemala City where the surgeries were done. |  | Evelin also is one of the remaining children that will receive a custom wheelchair on September 15th. Doug Whitfield, Co-director of “Kaitlin’s Mobility Foundation’ and Mike McHargue will be returning to Coban to complete the delivery of the donated wheelchairs. Their organization specializes in the care and rehabilitation of many special needs children.   Please continue to keep Evelin and her family in your prayers. Children with hydrocephalus and that have Spina Bifida are a big responsibility and they require lots of attention and care. Back to Current Events Home |
