Please join us on Thursday, May 31, as we pray for Dulce Maria, one of the seven precious children that call Open Doors Orphanage their home. Early in the morning, 6-month old Dulce will be heading to a hospital in Antigua to under-go surgery for her severe hip dysplasia. An American doctor will first perform a closed reduction procedure, which will allow her hips to abduct normally. After that, Dulce will be placed in a hip spica cast. The casts will be changed every 6 weeks for 3-6 months in order to provide her hips with the support they need following the surgery. Once her hips begin to regain strength, Dulce will be weaned down to a hip brace that she will wear until her hips return to normal! This whole treatment process could take up to a year. Therefore, please continue to keep Dulce and the Open Doors staff in your prayers...not only tomorrow, but in the weeks and months to come as they trek down the vigorous road that lies before them!
