Okay... a mattress is about $20.00, so anyone who wants to sacrifice a shopping trip and buy 1 or even put money to help buy 1, anything is better then nothing. I figure even just mattresses would be good because the mattresses could be put under the ACTUAL beds and then the mosquito net would still be covering them! (i would buy the plastic sheet thing to cover the mattresses, but i'm actually hoping I can get some like at the hospital that are made covered with plastic..I must ask)
If you want to donate toward mattresses you can go to messegeministries.net
So...yesterday, I woke up and went to the orphanage around 10. When I was on my way I ran into the owner
So...yesterday, I woke up and went to the orphanage around 10. When I was on my way I ran into the owner
(The doctor is the owner, and the founder. ) who had said one of the babies had still been sick from Monday. (very sick with fever) When we went to see the baby -Atoo- he said she should go back to the hospital (she;d already been taken to the clinic TWICE and both times they said it was malaria..typical.) Anyway, so I brought her, I insisted to the doctor that it was not malaria and how she tested negative the day prior but had been treated AGAIN for malaria, and I told him perhaps it was a respiratory infection.. long story short he decided to treat her for infection, malaria, AND submit her into the malnutrition center because she weighed 5.8 kilos and should be 7.2. so that is where I was ALL day yesterday. I'm going back today to check on her because she was NOT wanting to eat yesterday, because that milk is different, better. 8 months old and 12 pounds... i weighed like 8.6 when i was born... crazy. I tell you, there were some SKINNY babies in there(at the malnutrition center)... . AND that hospital is HOPELESS, you have to TELL the doctors and nurses what to do...
Anyway so that was my day..at the hospital, again. lol I went back to the orphanage before I came home at like 6 and kissed the babies (i mean the 3 year olds hehe :)) they are learning!! I love them SO much, it kills me! I'm never emptied handed when I'm there cause we just switch off whose being held. :) you'd all love them SO much, I wish you could see just how easy it is to love them!
