Lester and his mom spent 7 months in the USA (Sept 2013 - April 2014). At first Lester had appointments at the Shriners Hospital for Children in Chicago. On 16th Dec 2013 he was admitted to the hospital for spine surgery. The first surgery was on the 17th December. He had a halo attached to his skull, two ribs removed and his spine loosened. There were weights attached to the halo (up to 21 pounds) pulling his head upwards. He was wearing that day and night for 7 weeks.
On the 4th February 2014 Lester had a final surgery. Doctor Gupta and his team put metal rods along Lester's spine to keep it straight. They took off the halo, too.
The surgery was a success. After 2 months we were able to fly back to Poland. We are very thankful to Shriners Hospital in Chicago, Gift from the Heart Foundation in Chicago and all who helped us make it happen!
