Eduardo clings to life, intubated, a real fighter against orphan childhood diseases

Eduardo clings to life

It wasn't supposed to be this way

I have not been staying in contact with my Salazar family contact the way I should. It is pretty clear to me, the news is not good. Sometimes it is better to not broach the topic than to bring a flood of pain and sorrow into one's heart.

Eduardo has been battling for his life. He is one tough kid! He has been intubated, if I understand the Spanish explanation. He has been rushed to the hospital. He has suffered like no child should ever suffer.

The Salazar family has given up their dream of getting Eduardo modern medical care. They were never convinced there was anything to modern medicine anyway. They still fight to feed the kids, pay the bills and take care of a very sick child.

Hence, we continue asking for donations for the family. They are noble, maybe too proud to speak out for themselves. Those who have been care takers know, it takes a lot of money to take care of the sick person. Meanwhile, the brothers and sisters take back seat. There is never enough when you make less than $400 a month.

Please send donations to:

The problems Blake Robbins is facing, and the problems of Pensylvania school spycams in the LMSD community, pales in comparason to this kid's problems. It puts it all in perspective. It is still an interesting story, http://lawmancolo.blogspot.com/2010/03/lmsd-folding-tent-computer-web-cam-in.html

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.

Good man Sad Man--News From Eduardo-- Piolin Silent

Well.... Eduardo is responding to therapy with the gamma Globlulin. Great! Hooray!

I emailed a specialist in HLH today. She told me gamma globulin is a reprieve. Without intensive therapy there is little chance. They have room in their clinic, but, alas...it is not free.

We are talking $300,000 to $500,000 to save Eduardo's life.

I cried. Then I prayed.

What is more important, my house, or the life of a little boy? Geeez, life can be so unjust.

The pearl in the conversation is the US specialist does not think the symptoms sound like HLH. Wow, that would be a godsend!

Meanwhile, not a single person has responded to our plea for help. Sure enough, we have not gotten a response from Univision or Piolin, or Eduardo Sotelo, or even one single person we did not already know.

I guess I need to get to know more people!

If you are willing to give, here it is: You can send unwanted but nice items for our internet auction or send bucks.

Please mail your item for our auction for Eduardo or a check to:

When people we know hear about Eduardo they immediately reach into their pockets. We don't even have to ask.

Why is it, the poor people give?

Stay tuned if you like what you read.

Why not check out our ads. It is important to support our sponsors...even if they don't give us money we get a blog.

What I don't understand is, Why doesn't America care about a little boy in a far off place called Durango, Mexico?
