“Christina is a Kaqchikel-speaking Mayan woman from central Guatemala,” shares our medical partner, Wuqu’ Kawoq. “She enjoys weaving and hanging out at home with friends and extended family. She is looking forward to feeling better so that she can continue to do the things she loves and to take care of her children.”
“Christina has been having severe seizures for several months now,” explains Wuku’ Kawoq. “They are a great source of fear for her and they are limiting her ability to take care of her family, to engage in productive economic activities (like weaving, which she is very good at), and to enjoy life with her husband and friends.

Christina received surgery to treat recurring seizures.
Christina’s doctors are ecstatic about the result of the treatment! They report, “Wow, Christina is doing amazingly well. She was diagnosed with a parasitic infection in the brain, which was successfully treated. She was put on medications to control seizures that were caused by the infection, and she has been totally seizure free since. She has her old energy level and “attitude” back, and she’s enjoying taking care of her family, working around the house and, just generally, getting on with her life.”
