He just turned 2 last month. Lucas Jude is listed as having exopthalmos and hypoplasia of the skull. He may have a cranio-facial syndrome.
The doctors and orphanage director are only monitoring LJ's condition right now. They have stated that because the surgery to repair his skull and eyes is risky, combined with their feeling that he "has no long life", they say that "surgery makes little sense". My fellow advocates and I are working toward getting LJ the help that he needs, but in the meantime, he still waits for his forever family.
Lucas Jude is described as a restless and "obstinate" baby, with a "brilliant smile". He can share that brilliant smile and make a difference in this world, if only given the chance.
Who will give him that chance?
**if anyone has experience with cranio-facial anomalies, or knows of a cranio-facial doctor who can review Lucas Jude's file...PLEASE email me at amynurse2000@yahoo.com ASAP! Thank you!
