Eric finally received surgery to fix phimosis.
Eric’s doctor says, “Well it only took us a year and a half to get this done! Erick finally, after many mis-starts, cancelled appointments, and the like finally had his surgery! He is home recuperating and is feeling in great spirits. And very relieved to get this behind him. He is really getting into puberty now, so having this anatomic issue fixed is a major self esteem boost for him. His mother is thankful to the whole team for sticking with it and getting the surgery done finally, and thankful to Watsi for helping finance it!”
