Romina Rosie Goundar is one of the grateful hearts who had her son examined by doctors from Shriners Hospitals for Children at the Colonial War Memorial War Hospital on Tuesday.
Shoheel Chandra Goundar, 6, was born at Rakiraki Hosiptal and subsequent to his birth he had episodes of apnea.
She said her son had spastic diplegia, a form of Cerbal Palsy and his left side was more effective than the right side.
Mrs Goundar said she was told by the doctors that Shoheel had a good capacity to understand and follow commands but was not able to execute the commands.
She said she was overjoyed when his son started walking last year after physiotherapy.
“I’m really grateful for the doctors who have come to Fiji and are treating children free of charge.”
“I have faith in the orthopaedic surgeons and I hope my son gets better soon.”
She said Shoheel wanted to become a pilot and she hoped one day his son would be able to achieve his dream. The team will leave will leave the country on Friday,
