Baby Samuel is making steady progress. As you can see his cute face is shining. He is putting on some little weight slowly. There has been a huge improvement since we meet him a few weeks ago. He is suffering from severe malnutrition.

Samuel was discharged on Thursday 06/18/2020 after spending a week at the hospital in Masaka for medical evaluation. He was placed under a nutritional program.

At the hospital, they recommended a feeding plan to continue from home and will be going back regularly for review.

All the tests were negative and the Doctor said he will be fine; he is just severely malnourished.

Samuel makes one year on June 24th. He was abandoned to a granny who is handicap and walks with clutches. It was challenging for her to take care of him properly. We hired a lady caretaker (in the picture) to stay with the family until the boy is back on the normal child development track.

ThanksĀ šŸ™Ā to our friends who are extending their love to Samuel and other children.

Many thanksĀ to those who gifted Samuel with this shopping: he got a new crib, mattress, bedsheets, clothes, pampers, utensils, etc. He gets a daily supply of milk.
