Just a quick post here. I just brought a 3 year old girl to an infant rescue mission. She weighs 13 pounds and looks like she has been having seizures for quite some time. Her legs and arms are all twisted and tensed up. Her legs, feet, arms and hands were quite cold. Her lips were blue. By the providence of God there happened to be a team of American doctors here for a week doing a medical clinic up the street so I picked a couple of them up and brought them to look at the girl. They've given her some medicine and she will have a feeding tube put in place to begin giving her some nourishment. Her mother brought her to the grandmother yesterday morning, dropped her off and disappeared. Her grandmother brought her to Sherrie's, who sent her with some money and a driver to the hospital. The first hospital turned them away because she was too far gone. The second gave her a prescription for amoxicillin. As I was driving Becca to Sherries this morning the grandmother waved us down and we brought her to Sherrie's. Then I brought her to Dorothy's. At first Dorothy thought she wouldn't live through the day. She was beginning to respond to some medicine so we'll see.Her name is Emmanuela - which translated means "God is with us - here". Pray for her. We'll let you know what happens.
UPDATE By Becca:
The little girl I wrote about in yesterday's blog is Emmanuella! Like Luke said, one hospital turned her away and said the baby was going to die. One gave her some medicine that was not going to help her. When Luke brought her to the infant rescue missionary she also said she did not think Emmanuel la would live through the night! She is currently being cared for and sleeping last we knew. Please continue to pray for this little precious girl! Here are some pictures!
