17:11:56.00 So they arrested one of the riders. I think they galloped away. Youve got to love steamboat. A 7-year-old from honduras is recovering from life-saving surgery . Her heart was repaired in denver thanks to a surgeon at the Rocky Mountain Hospital for children and a team of charities. Cbs4 health specialist kathy walsh visited a very little grateful little girl and her mom who came a long way to get help. They live in a very small village in honduras. Theyve been worried about their little girl for years (TRT=00:11)

17:13:06.00 Reporter: thats because katrina was born with a fatal heart defect and time was running out. She probably would not have survived beyond her teenage years without surgery . Reporter: no doctor in honduras was able to perform the surgery . The busy group couldnt get to katrinas case but dr. Steven lenord promised to do the surgery in denver at the Rocky Mountain Hospital for children. The hospital covered the cost of the operation. Dr.Leonard restored katrinas heart to almost normal. She should be able to grow up and have children herself and hopefully have a long, productive and good quality of life (TRT=01:20)

17:13:56.00 Yes, the best. Reporter: dr. Leonard belongs to an organization called friends of barnibis. That group along with friend for samaritans purse coordinated the trip to colorado. They say the Rocky Mountain Hospital for children has committed to doing two or three of these surgeries for honduran children each year. Its beautiful. Its amazing too. She was discharged. Until she gets better and then she can get home. Ed is here now. Clear and crisp outside (TRT=03:01)
