Queen
Mambo! Sitting on the internet cafe after a rather quiet day.
Yesterday I went with one of the girls from the orphanage to the hospital in town to take some blood samples and an X-ray of the chest. Her name is Queen, and she has a really bad cold and an even worse cough as well. We thought it might be tbc but the thing is that she is too skinny (4 years old and weighs 12 kilos) and she has no muscels to help coughing up the flem. So since she has been ill for over theree weeks the body gets weaker and weaker.
And the people who are working at the orphanage knows that she has been really sick for over three weeks, but they havent lifted a finger. They told me when I first suggested to take her to the hospital, that God would heal her. That's just madness!!! It's good that they have they belief but this is just insanity! They're depending on God too much, because they're killing the kids! INSANITY!
Since there is so cold at the orphanage during the night my hostfamily and I decided that she is going to live with us and sleep in my bed till she gets well. So today I have been home taking care of her. The medicine she got yesterday is really strong and makes her throw up all the flem in her lungs that has been there for a while, so we need to feed her a lot since the food she is eating comes with the flem. I just hope she gets well soon, it's heart breaking to see her like that! And she is sooooooo tiny. Pictures are comming soon! Tonight I didn't sleep much since she was coughing soooooo much and Mathilda and Pontus as well. So I was wide awake all night. Lovely. But if that is what it takes for her to be well I gladely do it!
Take care! Xxx
