1 kg. + 2.5 kg. = 3.5 kg

This is Bernard, when he came to Amecet on 17/1/2012. His weight was 1 kg. He was born pre mature and we took him directly to the doctor and after that he went into our incubator. He was too weak to drink from a bottle, so we had to feed him by NG tube, every 2 hours, day and night. He was so small, so delicate, we prayed for his life. His mother died after giving birth. But Bernard is a strong little boy, after a while he could drink him self and he could keep his temperature well. He was for 7 weeks in the incubator, just to protect him and then we took him out in a baby bed. he never was sick, we never had to take him to the doctor for fever, malaria, cough or diarrhoea. He drunk well and gained, slowly, but steady. 

And today Bernard went home!! Weighing 3,5 kg. He is still a little baby, but he is strong and healthy. I am so thankful we could help this little boy!

And here he is with his auntie, she is the sister to his father and she will be the one to care for Bernard. We prayed God's blessing and protection over Bernard and his auntie.
