Hope’s Future
Human infants with the condition don’t have a very stellar survival rate. Despite this, Hope has managed to thrive, and Mike is doing everything he can. He has expressed that he wants the turtle to live a happy, healthy life, and so he creates a sterile environment to protect her immune system and heart. This involves keeping her away from other turtles, which he plans to do for the foreseeable future. A vet advised Mike that as time goes on and Hope grows, he shouldn’t expect the size of the hole in her underbelly to change.
