The Cuban girl Amanda Lemus Ortiz, who underwent a liver transplant in Spain in March, continues to show signs of improvement, as confirmed by the fact that her parents took her out for a walk and to sunbathe in the surroundings of the hospital where she is admitted in Madrid.
The baby's recovery is progressing, it is noticeably visible how much her health has improved. She has gained weight, has a different appearance, her eyes speak more than anything," activist Yamilka Laffita (Lara Crofs) reported this Friday, who accompanied the good news with two beautiful photos of the little one with her parents in a stroller.
However, Laffita pointed out that "doctors warn that there is still a long way to go, at least three more months, before he can be discharged, although he adds that 'everything has continued to progress as expected'."
"The girl is eating well, has completely normal bowel movements, and the overall parameter readings are good," she pointed out.
On Monday, they will perform a small review, as the bile duct is dilating due to so many antibiotics. Let's remember that the girl arrived in La Paz with the Escherichia coli bacteria, which is why she has had to undergo a heavy antibiotic treatment to eliminate the bacteria from her body," he explained.
"Mila Ortiz and Emmanuel Lemus couldn't look happier with the results of the recovery of #AmandaVive. A pair of exemplary parents who gave and did everything in their power, supported by a huge community of Cubans scattered across all latitudes, to save their daughter's life. The dream has come true and Amanda, along with her family, has had a new opportunity for a fresh start."
I, personally, am immensely grateful for the support and concern of all those who supported me and participated in one way or another to carry out such a task. That is why I never miss the opportunity to say thank you," Lara Crofs concluded the hopeful message.
In recent days, a brief video had already been released by the mentioned source, where the little girl was smiling alongside her father, who was the donor for the transplant after the Cuban healthcare system practically abandoned her to her fate, and only the union of thousands of Cubans made it possible for her to arrive in European territory and undergo the surgical process.
Since the first operation in March to correct a bile duct atresia, Amanda has had to return to the operating room three more times. The latest was on April 4th to drain the large amount of bile released in the side and stop the bleeding.
Two weeks later, he left the intensive care unit for a recovery room at La Paz Hospital in the Spanish capital.
In the last 15 days, the girl has improved significantly: she eats solid foods, has an appetite, gains weight, shows good spirits, and her eyes are no longer yellow.
However, it is confirmed that their stay at the medical center will be indefinite due to the significant deterioration they suffered upon arriving in Spain, which astonished the doctors, who said that "precious time had been lost."
The fundraising on GoFundMe closed at over $28,000 to make the process a reality, although family members, friends, and people close to the situation are trying to financially help their parents, who must support themselves there without having a job or any source of income.
