Nepali Child



Nepali child recently hospitalized

Our health workers in Nepal are frequently asked to accomplish the impossible.  Miraculously, many times they do.  One of the health workers recently became aware of a child who lives in Nawalparasi Tarai.  Her entire body was swollen and she was obviously a very sick little girl due to kidney dysfunction.  They arranged to have her admitted to the KANTI hospital where she stayed for a month.  While there they helped the family with food, clothing, and finances as well as arranged for them to meet with a special doctor.  When she was dismissed, she went home with our supervisor, Muna, for 4 days and then eventually back to her own home.  She later had to be rehospitalized due to swelling of her abdomen but is now home again doing better.  No one knows what the future will bring but at least for now she has received relief and been surrounded by people who care.
