Rodney, a 15 year old Haitian orphan, arrived in Knoxville yesterday for heart surgery. Clint & Kristine Doiron traveled to Haiti last week to get a medical visa and bring him to the U.S. It took a couple of Senators, an Ambassador and some incredibly dedicated people to get him from the desperation he lives in to a hospital where his life will be forever changed. Rodney suffers from Tetralogy of Fallot, a fatal condition usually corrected at less than one year of age.Doctors and hospitals in Knoxville have generously donated their time & facilities to saving this young man's life!
Rodney had his echo-cardiogram and blood work done today and sugery is scheduled for Thursday.
More as his surgery & recovery progresses...
