Turns out our little man is fighting meningitis in addition to malaria and pneumonia. He came in the same day as Reziki, and he was actually the weaker of the two - most of the mamas didn't think he would make it this far, and he has proven to be a fighter. All we can do is hope that he will keep fighting. The malaria is no longer showing in tests and the pneumonia is going, and reports on the ground (thanks to the incredible Bethan, Jasmine, Emma, Megan, and Emily) say that he's smiling and responding, which is a good sign. Anyone who knows me even a little bit knows that I don't believe in prayer - but I can't be there, and neither can you, and for once I get the idea of needing to feel like we're doing SOMETHING. So keep him in your thoughts? He will never be out of mine.
