Patient updates

I thought it would be a good idea to write updates on a couple of patients I had written about previously.

Clayton Mufambi is the guy who had a large mass resected from his face. He returned for a follow-up visit and is doing well.





He did require another small skin graft. Before he left I gave him a Shona Bible as I had promised, with verses written in the front cover regarding topics we had discussed during his hospital stay. He expressed his gratefulness for how God had blessed him through Karanda.


Another update on a smaller patient - the 2.5 lb. baby of the HIV positive mother is now over 3 lbs. She still has another couple of pounds to go before she gets to go home.





The nurse taking care of her was excited to show me a Zimbabwean method of caring for pre-term babies, called the "Kangaroo method."





Here are mom and baby kangaroo-style, skin-to-skin. They say that pre-term babies carried this way grow more quickly than other babies. It's God's natural built-in incubator.
