Guarded Improvement - Funds Still Needed


I am happy to report young Eduardo Salazar Rivera is continuing to improve tonight in the Children't Hospital in Durango. I got off of the line with one of the relatives and she sounded encouraging.

Eduardo has started on his treatment of Gambloulin which he is taking to combat his fight against HLH, a hereditary disease which strikes mostly those under 18 years of age. Eduardo fell ill with the vicious syndrome about 30 days ago. The time before onset and death is usually 30 to 60 days, according to sources. It appears he may have gotten to the hospital just in time!

Our concern for Eduard is his continued access to medical care and to the medications he needs. We pray for his cotinued improvement and ultimate recuperation. Our concerns, of course, are for a relapse, which often occurs in many illness after the patient initially ralley. Let's pray that is not the case for Eduardo.

The family is once again pondering whether it is wise to bring Eduardo to the US, and we respect their decision. Whether or not he comes here, he has a tough road ahead of him and will need your continued support.

Send your emails to eduardoenvivo@gmail.com. We are actively seeking donations to assist Eduardo in the high cost of medication and medical care. Please contact us if you are willing to donate.

Uncle Tim
