Not Photoshop – Kid Born With “Flamingo Legs”

This condition, where the knees dislocate, causes immense pain. But the kid has had corrective surgery, courtesy of the Tim Tebow Foundation.

I didn’t even know he had such a thing.

Tebow just went up another notch in my book. He’s a good man.

An 11-year-old boy in the Philippines is recovering from a life-changing corrective surgery on his legs that was made possible by the Tim Tebow Foundation and CURE International. Aldrin, whose last name was not disclosed, was born with a severe leg deformity that left him in unbearable pain from simply standing, and prevented him from walking long distances, Fox 35 Orlando reported.

According to the CURE International blog, Aldrin’s condition was identified as congenital knee dislocation, which caused his knees to bed the wrong way. His stature left him subject to bullying from peers, and prevented him from participating in everyday activities.

“Essentially, Aldrin’s knee bends the wrong way like a flamingo,” Dr. Tim Mead, medical director of CURE and one of Aldrin’s lead surgeons, wrote on his blog. “Look at his picture and be amazed he could even get around at all.”

“When he had surgery it was OK because their staff gave us encouragement and they take care of us very well,” Aldrin’s mother, who was not identified, said in a video released by the Tim Tebow Foundation. “They encourage me and gave me strength that God knows and has an idea on what is best for him. God is in control just like your doctors and whatever is good for Aldrin.”

On a side note. Tim Tebow’s hand surgery was a major success.

  1. Tebow’s foundation is wonderful. So many children will be blessed.
    The boy now has normal legs because of advanced surgical techniques inspired by God’s grace and mercy.
    If left to Godless socialists, the kid would have been given pseudo pain pills, told to “re-imagine” and embrace a new normal.

  2. That’s nice but look at all the millions of Haitians and others around the world the Clinton Foundation had helped! Wait…what?

    Oh. Um. Never mind…

    God bless Tim Tebow.

  3. The head of the NHS said, “It’s quite unfortunate that this child wasn’t born in the UK – we would’ve been able to help him by giving him instruction in dealing with bullying instead of his having to undergo these painful surgeries.”
