Update on Maria Xitimul




Maria had surgery in May, 2011, to remove 2 offending surgical pins that were sticking up under the skin of her left hip. Dr. Scott Hutson, orthopedic surgeon in Walla Walla, kindly did not not charge SHMI for this surgery. A planned left total hip replacement was cancelled after much consideration due to Maria's high risks of complications.

She has received her new left lower leg prosthesis, and can now walk with no pain! She is very grateful to Prosthetic and Services of Walla Walla and Steve Kimball's team of caring providers.
