Aria, 2 years old from Northern Iraq
Doctors at the October screening in Jordan found that little Aria has the features of Down Syndrome and six fingers on his right hand, as well as a heart defect commonly found in Down children. He can overcome the heart defect with surgery which should allow him to grow into adulthood. Aria arrived safely in Israel today and is awaiting surgery!
Rebar, 3 years old from Northern Iraq
Rebar was born with a large hole between the ventricles of his heart. An Israeli cardiologist who saw him in October in Jordan put him down for "intervention in near future" due to the risk that developing pulmonary hypertension could leave him inoperable. He has reached Jordan and is waiting for transfer across the river into Israel.
