Before
After
John came to us at 14 months of age and weighed only 7 Kg. He should have been walking, but he couldn’t do anything just like a newborn. He couldn’t raise his head, sit up, grasp toys let alone walk. John’s father had left the mother and she had another baby when John was just 11 months old. John was malnourished neglected and sick. His oxygen saturations dropped to 30% several times in the first days of care and he nearly died. At first we force fed him milk 2 hourly with a syringe. If we gave him a little too much he vomited. It was very touch and go for a while.
6 months on now aged 20 months John has passed through all the milestones of rolling, sitting, crawling and is now walking. He is a very happy natured child and snuggles in for plenty of cuddles. I, Esther, am often sad if I think about the way he suffered at his most vulnerable time of life. It is one the most amazing experiences and privileges to see milk, love and simple medicines restore a baby to the picture of health. Praise God that he was able to heal John through the work here!
