Many of you have been asking how Ruth is doing. The last update I sent, Ruth was heading to the clinic the next day. The clinic is about an hour away from us and she got there with one of our house moms, Belita. The doctor at the clinic was familiar with her case and was able to give her the assistance she needed. Immediately when they saw how bad Ruth was, they put a drip (IV) in her hand. This helped her body rehydrate and Belita said that it started making Ruth feel better fairly quick. They kept her at the clinic for 4 days to observe her and make sure that she could handle the recovery from here on out. Charles went back to pick her and Belita up from the clinic on Saturday (last week) and Ruth was already sitting up by herself, she started gaining weight, she was eating more regularly, and she had a gleam in her eyes that wasn’t there before.
Since being back at the orphanage, Ruth has been holding in there. She has another review in a couple months, so please keep praying on her behalf. She is doing much better, but there is always a chance she can regress and take a turn for the worst.
Here is a new picture of her…she was crying because she hasn’t been around white people, and I was trying to take her picture :o) You can’t see too much of a change, but enough to know that she is still alive and she seems to be fighting for her life!!
Thank you God for hearing our prayers and giving Ruth the strength she needed to hold on and for renewing her spirit. Please continue to protect her and watch over her in these coming months as she continues to get better in becoming a healthier little girl.
