Child fights for his life in Durango hospital

Eduardo Fights For Life

Frantic family celebrates the gifts god gave them


We did not hear anything from the Salazar family for the past several days.

Finally we made contact with Maria Salazar Rivera today. This is a mixed blessing. We were relived to hear Eduardo is still with us. We must all celebrate the gifts god gave us. The other part of the good news is this little child is doing slightly better.

The bad news? This budding soccer star has been through more operations in an attempt to stop hemorrhaging. One must wonder how much a little boy can take.

Maria was on the run, getting ready for a trip back to the hospital where she could be by her child's side. We know it has been a terrible struggle for her, taking care of 6 other children and Eduardo, too!

We express our disappointment the Latino radio and TV stations ignored this 11 year old boy in his time of need. Does any one care what happens to those living South of the border?

That especially applies to Eduardo Sotelo, who I though would run with this story. He is such a compassionate person ln the radio, and even though my time with him on the Piolin Caravan to Washington D.C. was short, I thought he was a good soul. Geez, I still think so!

God has a different plan. If you are one of those who cannot use the "G" word, then stick the word destiny in the phrase. Eduardo has his destiny. Maybe it is not what we wanted for him. We have resigned ourselves Eduardo will not get the medical treatment he needs, and the established media outlets were no help at all.

Please keep your hearts and prayers open for Eduardo. We are still seeking donations of cash or things to sell on eBay. Having a sick child is a very costly disaster which hit the Salazar family hard.
