Toddler undergoes kidney surgery and recovering
Last February, Tessa Pratt did what any mother would do for her child who was in urgent need of a kidney surgery. Mrs. Pratt began pleading with members of the public for financial assistance for her then two-year-old son, Emanuel Pratt, who was diagnosed with a swollen right kidney and multiple cysts in the other kidney.
Little Emanuel Pratt recovering shortly after surgery.
Members of the public responded to her cry for help. They were able to assist Mrs. Pratt and little Emanuel raise some $2 M for the much needed surgery.
Mrs. Pratt and her son were able to travel to Trinidad last July to begin preparation for what she thought would have been corrected with one surgery. After going into operating theater on three separate occasions little Emanuel is now back home and is recovering well.
Little Emanuel is now three years old and is leading a healthy life. He is even more active than he was before surgery. For this his relatives are extremely thankful for all those who supported in whatever little way.
In the meantime the toddler remains on medication and will soon have to return for medical check-ups in Trinidad.
