Yong was recently seen at the Bayi Hospital in Beijing, to have more tests run before his very complex facial surgery. Because of his very rare condition, additional consults are needed before the final surgery plan is decided. We have connected one of the top plastic surgeons in China to the head of surgery in Beijing, and for now, Yong has now been discharged from the hospital to return to his home province while the details are discussed. Our director visited him every day in the hospital, and she said he is the kindest, most polite little boy. He was sharing a room with several other children, and he asked if he could share the toys he had been given to make them feel better as well. Yong had received a very special panda bear when he went to the zoo with his foster dad and our director the day before entering the hospital, and he had been holding it tightly ever since. However, when the little boy in the bed next to him became upset, Yong walked over and said the little boy could have his bear. What a sweet spirit Yong has! We will keep everyone updated as more details are finalized on his surgery. We know it seems like things are moving slowly, but it is only due to the complexity of the operation. We had been told that if he had traveled to L.A. for his operation, over 20 specialists would have been involved in his care.
