Little boy to have life-changing surgery

NEW YORK Maddox Flynn is just 2 years old and suffers from a lymphatic malformation on his face and requires a surgery that is not available in Canada.

A doctor who specializes in blood vessel abnormalities will perform the surgery at St. Luke's Roosevelt Hospital in Manhattan on Friday.

Maddox's parents received more than $175,000 in donations from people and organizations to help foot the bill to travel here and pay for the surgery.

The donations have exceeded the expectations of the family. They have consulted a lawyer who is now handling the trust fund.

The family's plan is to use the money for any complications that may arise from Maddox's condition in the short-term. And if there is any excess money, the family wants to start a foundation to help other families dealing with similar situations.

Following Friday's surgery, Maddox will also have to go back for a second surgery that's booked for September. That surgery will reconstruct the lower part of his face.
