Just an update on our kiddos at the malnourishment center. Not all the babies are malnourished at the center, some are there because they need more care than the 'average' baby, some have club foot and others were preemie babies.
Here is Sweet Baby D when he first arrived...
3 days after he arrived...
15 days at Ruel...
19 days at Ruel...
32 days at Ruel...
38 days at Ruel.
We are so proud of your progress Baby D!
Next we have Mr J, a returning malnourished toddler. He was so weak when he arrived he couldn't hold up his own head well, and he is 2 years old.
1 day at Ruel...
3 days at Ruel...
He starts to interact with his caregivers in play and is obviously stronger now as he can sit up better and hold up his head well.
He can hold his own milk cup.
He starts to play with the toys around him.
9 days at Ruel...
He is throwing the ball to his caregivers who roll it back to him.
16 days at Ruel...
He has been staring at me when I come to visit ever since he arrived but now he is trying to get my attention if I am not looking at him.
He has been smiling at his caregivers for a while now but he just started to share them with me in the last few days.
Look who is strong enough to pull himself up and walk with the walker!
Way to go Mr J!
Here we have Mr. I, he has clubfoot and recently had surgery on his hip. This little guy has had casts going on for over 4 months.
Right now his cast is from his waist all the way down one leg and to mid calf on his other leg. To say this hampers his options for play is saying the least but he manages to move himself around anyway.
I'm told he likes to hit his cast on the bars on his bed to make noise, such a boy.
He loves attention!
Another clubfoot fella we have is Baby S.
Here he is just a day after he arrived here. Baby S is only affected by clubfoot on his left foot.
This was the day he got his first cast.
2 weeks later
He will get his last cast today and we are waiting for his special shoes/braces to arrive, hopefully within a week or so.
Look at that cute double chin!
Baby S does smile now but I haven't caught it on camera....yet.
