San Antonio family, Cristina and Eduardo Lopez, with their 15-month old baby Eduardo, were featured with Alzafar Shriner Assistant Rabban, Mario Vargas on Noticias 41 on KWEX-TV. The Lopez family talked about their struggle to find help for their baby, who suffers from congenital vertical taulus, among other health issues. Fortunately, the Lopez family was recommended to the Shriners Hospital for Children in Houston, and received a prognosis of Eduardo of being able to walk normal after his surgery this month.
