HOPEFUL FLIGHT MARKS CHILD'S BIRTHDAY Chana's fifth birthday this year was more than cake and presents. On that day, she was flown from San Diego back to her home near New York City. The trip, provided through Angels Donate Frequent Flyer Miles, enabled Chana to see a world-renown osteopathologist and specialist in vision development. Chana has Down's Syndrome and suffers from complications in vision coordination.
The bubbly little girl is in good health compared to other children with Down's Syndrome, but her optical complications require special attention. Doctors have recommended surgeries and glasses, but an osteopathologist in San Diego treated Chana a little differently. Osteopathology is a treament utilizing manipulation where doctors put their hands on the patient and work with bone movements. The specialist in San Diego, Dr. Frymann, has had marked success in improving her vision. Her father learned of Angels Donate Frequent Flyer Miles and made the call. "It was one or two days later and we had our itinerary," he said. "It was so easy and fast, it couldn't have been any better." The free flights will continue for as long as Chana needs to be under Dr. Frymann's care.
