When Every Breath Hurt: Daniel’s Story of Healing

Daniel, 6, came to the Potrerillos clinic with shortness of breath and chest pain. His parents were terrified—it was the third night he hadn’t slept, and they didn’t know what else to do.

At the clinic, Daniel was quickly diagnosed with acute bronchitis and early pneumonia. The team administered antibiotics and oxygen, monitored his vitals, and provided medication for home recovery.

Three days later, Daniel returned for follow-up—laughing, breathing freely, and playing again. His parents were speechless. “We’ve never had care like this,” they said.
