JUAN ANDRES ACOSTA TEJEDA, a 2-year-old baby who, at the age of one, was diagnosed with Hirschsprung's disease, a congenital condition that occurs when there is a lack of nerve cells in the large intestine. This prevents the intestine from moving stool normally. Juan Andres underwent surgery to remove the intestinal segment affected by the absence of ganglia cells and, at the same time, to perform the Duhamel intestinal drainage technique. He also underwent two stoma correction surgeries (colostomy closure). The surgeries were performed at the Honduras Medical Center Hospital in the city of Tegucigalpa. This is a private medical center in Honduras. This has meant a significant expense for our family, as $22,500.00 has been spent on the procedures. SURGERY, PLUS THE EXPENSES FOR COLOSTOMY SUPPLIES, ANTIBIOTICS, VITAMIN SUPPLEMENTS, LABORATORY TESTS, AMONG OTHER EXPENSES NECESSARY TO GUARANTEE JUAN ANDRÉS'S RECOVERY; However, after 5 surgeries, he has been diagnosed with strictures in the areas where the healthy parts of his intestine joined. This requires us to perform another surgery to remove the narrowed portion of his intestine and change the bowel evacuation technique to a direct evacuation. This will be performed in Mexico City at the private children's hospital in Mexico City. The cost is $25,000.00, which includes only medical fees and hospital costs for the surgery. For this reason, we are requesting the support of ALL OF YOU, SO THAT WE CAN PERFORM THE SURGERY THAT WILL ALLOW JUAN ANDRÉS TO LEAD A FULL LIFE.
