As a deportation fight that's a matter of life and death continues, the next two weeks give a glimmer of hope for one mother and son.
Fourteen-year-old Eduardo Hernandez and his mother returned to Houston, Texas, for medical treatment after being deported to Mexico.A 14-year-old who was deported last week is back in Houston to receive the life-saving medical care he needs. Eduardo Hernandez spent a week in Mexico without treatment as his doctors, lawyers, and elected leaders worked to get him back to Texas Children's Hospital.
"They were following orders. They did not create the climate that necessitated their engagement," U.S. Rep. Al Green, D-Texas, said. Green rode with the Hernandez family from Eagle Pass to Houston overnight. Doctors there were waiting to admit Eduardo immediately for dialysis treatment that he did not have access to in Mexico.Dr. Michael Braun is Texas Children's Hospital's Chief of Pediatric Nephrology. Speaking of when Eduardo was in Mexico, Braun said, "There is a significant risk that Eduardo might die. We worry that every day was potentially going to be his very last day on earth.
