Follow-up


Occasionally, we share pictures of some of the patients in the hospital in our Random Saturday posts.  You may wonder what happens to the people shown.


This young man (12 years old) came in weighing only 50 pounds.
He had a perforated gall bladder, further complicated by bone infections and severe malnutrition.
On top of all that, he also suffers from sickle cell anemia.
He was part of our Random Saturday series in October.


A few months later, he is still in the hospital, but looking much better!

He was able to return home at the beginning of March.
He came by with his friends and brought us a pineapple one Saturday morning.
You would never know it is the same child from the first picture!
