Huggable Hudson: LWB’s Featured Child of the Week

This huggable little man is Hudson. In June 2010, Hudson received surgery to repair his congenital heart defect. Upon discharge, Hudson entered our Fuyang Foster Care Program where he has recovered and adjusted wonderfully to his new, much healthier life. He has been all smiles since he left the hospital.
