I have a cold and it’s frustrating because I am here to help Dorothy with babies and I can’t really help because they are very susceptible to things because of malnourishment. Babies that have suffered from being malnourished, their immune systems just aren’t the same. I cannot really hold them and love them. In fact, Emarie went to the doctor today to find out the results of her CT scan and I could not go…sad day. However PAP gave us electricity for most of the day because of carnival I am guessing, so I was on the internet a lot and was also able to rest. They came back from the doctor and Emarie is perfectly fine. Her brain looks perfectly normal and healthy. PRAISE GOD!!! The only thing they could say was that her fontanel swelled because of the malnourishment. Dorothy had never see this reaction to malnourishment so I am learning new things with her. We have to start putting sugar and oil in her food to add more calories. Also, praise God because the swelling is already decreasing.
It was interesting…I got to see the scan of her brain and then Dorothy showed me the difference in her brain verses Poutchino’s (hydrocephalus) and Francios (he has had meningitis, and a stroke). There is so much difference. I wish I could show you all. Emarie’s brain matter, everything being even on both sides, where Poutchino and Francios is missing matter and is uneven…it’s hard to describe, but it was definitely a new experience. It’s heartbreaking too, to see the scans of Poutchino’s and Francios brain. It makes me feel even more blessed to be here working with both of them on therapy. Pray for them, praise God that Emarie is okay and pray that she will continue to be okay.
I told you she was a fighter with a strong spirit to live! :)
Blessings. Love love love. T.Rae
