On the 7th of February, Tom Brian brought back Denilson, our little malnourished child who, at the age of 6-months only weighed six pounds, which is smaller than most newborns. He had been staying with us at House of Hope, but had to be sent to Tegucigalpa because the doctors here could not figure out why he wasn’t gaining weight.
While in Tegucigalpa, the doctors had him on a very expensive formula, which helped for a while, but then he had a relapse. Because of this relapse the doctors did further testing and discovered tat he had been borne with a twisted intestine which kept him from properly digesting food.
Denilson was scheduled for surgery and now weighs a whopping 20 pounds! (He lost about 5 lbs from the 25 he weighed when he relapsed.) He’s a very happy, healthy baby; very small with a very big personality.
We wish to give special thanks to those who knew of his need and responded from their generous hearts to help financially or in other ways.
