So every day, Gloria is put twice in a soap bath and after that we dress the wounds with...HONEY! The first times it was a battle, Gloria screamed and refused to co-operate with us. Then Miranda, one of the Dutch volunteer nurses, made it more like a playtime and Gloria loves it! She plays and there is water everywhere! And after the bath she has now so much trust in Miranda and Ninke (the other Dutch volunteer nurse) that she lays very patiently, (with the buttocks up!) until they are finished dressing the wounds. There is a little healing, but it goes very slow and until the sores are healed, she can't wear the splints and she can't practise with her walker.
