Another Viktor
Victor came to our clinic when he was seven months old. He was very malnourished and had sores from head-to-toe. He was is very bad shape. It took a lot of round-the-clock care for him to turn a corner. He became such a loving and sweet little boy. Viktor is almost five years old now. He is bi-lingual and loves everyone.
Peter just sent a note from the medical base and said we have another Viktor. His name is Yoshua and he is badly malnourished and covered with sores. He is 10 months old now and weighs 11 pounds (5 kilos). He was born at nearly10 pounds (4.5 kilos). In the last 10 months he has only gained one pound. Yoshua’s mother has died and those who were caring for him nearly starved him to death. Miriam is taking care of him during the day. He should be able to recover in time just like Viktor. Once Yoshua gains his strength his father will take him. Peter feels it will be months before his is able to get to a normal weight and heal from the sores.
