For A Child Fighting A Rare Disease

December 05, 2009

In life there is always hope. We finally heard from the Salazar Rivera family who are watching over their son, Eduardo in El Hospital General de Durango, Mx..

It is hard to imagine how a young boy can fight so hard. Little Eduardo Salazar Rivera is still alive and kicking. He has been through two more tough surgery's as the doctors frantically try to stop his internal hemorrhaging. Eduardo is out of intensive care once again.

The sad truth, until Eduardo is able to get the

best of care his chances are not very good

Eduardo's parents want to move hospitals. They are not convinced their son is making progress where he is. The sad truth, until Eduardo is able to get the best of care his chances are not very good. But God has his plan and we have been praying for Eduardo, that God's plan be done, what ever than may be.

For those just joining our blog, little Eduardo Salazar Rivera is suffering from a rare childhood disease called HLH or Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis. There are two forms, hereditary HLH and HLH acquired through secondary infection, or SHLH.

Those who acquire the illness through heredity have a poor prognosis even if they can they can force the illness into remission. Those who acquire the illness through infection, as appears to be the case for Eduardo, have up to a 70% of recovery with aggressive treatment. Aggressive treatment includes chemotherapy, imunotherapy and a bone marrow transplant.

We appreciate cash donations or gifts of

property to be sold on eBay

The family is short funds and appreciate donations, money or property to be sold on eBay. Please send to Tim Paynter, Attorney at Law, 120 South Kalamath St. Denver, CO., 80223. If you have connections to the media we would appreciate your assistance in this desperate call for help.

Sometimes all we have left is the power of prayer. I hope you will keep Eduardo in your prayers, and his family, as we are all children of God. Eduardo could be your nephew, or grandson or the child of someone you know... We can't save every child, very sad if true. We can save Eduardo, and we ask you to be part of it.

Uncle Tim
