We have at the moment 3 boys in Amecet, whose situation quite similar is. It is not that they are very united, but today we spend the whole day together with them, going from Doctor to Doctor, from X ray to blood tests...The boys are all three very sick. They are all three HIV+ and in the stage of having AIDS. The boy at the left, Ivan, (11 years) is the weakest, he has problems with eating, so we had to give him a NG tube. At first he cried, but now he is okay with it, we hope we can give him the extra feeding by tube, next to the normal eating by mouth. Kenneth, the boy at the right is 10 years old. he came 2 weeks ago in Amecet, we do see some improvement. Then the smaller boy at the front is Moses, he is 7 years old and he came yesterday in Amecet. At the moment Moses is not happy with us, he wants to go home, is crying and wants to escape.

Monday we have to do two sputum tests and then go back to the Doctor with all the results of the tests.
Please pray also for Deborah, our nurse, she is doing a great job, but there is a lot to do and to think off.
Thank you for all the work you are able to do! Praying for strength, wisdom and being able to continue this amazing work you are doing for the children. I hope Moses will be able to find comfort and ease at his new temp home and that all three of them will benefit from the medication.
ReplyDeleteHope Emma has the stamina to keep running after him :) but in all seriousness, it is good that the boy has at least one person that can reach out to him with some succes.
Much love from Leeuwarden,
