Lorian - Application Rejected!
It is with regret that we have to confirm that the application for Lorian to be brought to Australia for assessment, and treatment if she was found to be suitable for the keyhole surgery thought possible, was rejected by Australian Immigration. This is disappointing but it does not mean that Lorian will be left and forgotten. A special stroller has been purchased for her. This, along with clothing modified to make it easy to dress her, and items to assist with her sanitation requirements have been provided. These will be delivered to her parents shortly. While her condition will not improve and her life is not expected to be long, her quality of life should improve. With the provisions made she will be able to be more involved with her family and community. At last report from Vanuatu we were informed that Amfrey and Lorian have returned to their home village at Vureas Bay on Vanua Lava.
