It is with a BIG smile on my face that I am posting these words.
Thanks to your support of HeartValveSurgery.com, I am happy to share that Traver just arrived home in Uganda after his complex cardiac surgery in Israel!!! Woo-Whoo!!! Yay!!!! Mission accomplished!!!!
I just received the following pictures. Here is Traver at home with his family in their Ugandan village.
And here is Traver’s family holding a heart-warming “Thank You” sign that acknowledges the HeartValveSurgery.com community, Gift of Life International, Open Heart POBIC Uganda and all the great people who came together to help Traver. I love this!!! ?
You Made a HUGE Difference in Traver’s Life!
On behalf of Traver and his family, I need to thank all the wonderful people in the HeartValveSurgery.com community – the patients, the family members, the friends, doctors, nurses, hospitals, medical companies, and our sponsors.
Thanks to your support of this website, we were able to sponsor Traver’s life-saving operation. You are simply amazing! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
In case you missed it, here is the video I posted the moment I learned that Traver’s heart surgery was a success!!!
