For six months he rehabilitated himself and relearned how to do almost everything: stand, walk, eat and talk. “When he spoke it was incredible to hear his voice,” he commented. his mother, María Ruiz. “I burst into tears after not hearing her voice in five months.”
He made a lot of progress and is now attending 1st grade at the hospital school. “He is no longer in a wheelchair and walks, talks and eats,” said his father, Willie Guzmán Ayala. “We are happy with the progress.”
It’s been a long journey, much longer for a girl. “He continues to make progress every day,” Dr. Watson said. While her family remains grateful and optimistic. “There is more ahead and I know that, with the blessing from above, we will get through this,” said her proud mother.
