Vino has been here in the U.S. receiving reconstructive surgeries to repair the burn injury he received in a kerosene spill accident in Indonesian. He has made fine progress as his right arm and hand were freed and his neck and chin were also reconstructed.He is a normal and energetic little boy. He goes to school and is fluent in English. He has lots of friends but the best friend is Dr. Richard Grossman who is giving him a new life. Dr. Grossman has performed all the surgeries and is happy with the results.
His ears were nearly completely burned off. The rebuilding of his ears will take time to heal but will result in a more normal look. He is feeling very good about how his life has changed.
