This 8 year old girl went home to live with her Aunt. She is doing well and her Aunt was really excited to take her. We are hoping that she will go back to school. She likes to pose when you take pictures of her as you can see in this picture! Perhaps she will become a model one day….
Here is a picture of the 8 year old girl standing next to one of our children who is also 8 years..As for this 8 year old who looks like a 4 year old, we said in our last posts that we would take her to the lung specialist - this we did and found that her lungs are severely damaged and we can’t do anything about it. All we can do is keep her lungs as clear as we can by doing physiotherapy on her 3 times a day and managing any infections she gets. She will be on oxygen indefinitely.
This 9 year old has been with us for around a year – we tried to send her home in February but she needed to come back as she became ill again. She also saw the lung specialist last week and her prognosis is good. He expects her lungs to heal with time. She will be going home once we can teach her mother how to dispense her medication and do her physio.
Our three year old also saw the lung specialist and her news is also positive. The specialist expects her to be off her oxygen within another 4 months. We are really pleased about this because her lungs were damaged due to her mother’s reneging four times on her TB medication.
This little girl came last week. Although she is HIV negative, she got TB meningitis and, due to that, she is brain damaged and in a coma. She needs to be fed by naso-gastric tube at present so she is staying with us for a month until she can have an abdominal feeding tube inserted. One thing in her favour is that she has a loving mom who wants to care for her so, once the abdominal feeding tube is in place, she will be able to go home.
Our little 2 month old little girl is HIV positive. We were so sad to hear that as she looked so well and we had high hopes for her. Since we are full, she will be going into foster care or to another facility.
For some good news!
Last week we got the school reports and most of our children have done well. Most of the scores were threes and fours (3 being “satisfactory achievement” and 4 being “excellent”).

It hurts to read how these kids are all suffering so much... they're in our prayers, you can count on that!
The 2 months year old can still turn out to negative on a PCR later, right?
Congrats on the good schoolresults!!!
Regarding your question about the 2 month old she is PCR positive so that's the final results. We have done a CD4 count and a viral Load and she is definetely positive although her blood work is still good. She will go to Bara hospital next week and they will decide what to do treatment wise
thx for your answer, poor little one, thank the Lord her blood work is still good, we'll pray she respond well on the treatment!
