What I am not sure yet, but we are seeing connections to something.
It might lead to a healing, it might just be touching our hearts again or it might only be to give confirmation to a future doctor of where she might choose to work in the future we don't know but we are going to find out.
The story.
Wut came to me yesterday asking to go see a baby with a large head.
I asked her why because I didn't want her gawking at someone with a problem.
Her reply was "because I had never seen a child like that before". As I was about to tell her "no" she finished her sentence with "I want to pray for her and tell them about God". Honesty and a good reason so we went.
I searched on the internet to know a little more about what I was going to see, questions to ask and be prepared on how we might be able to help or not. We also stopped by quickly to talk with my father in-law to let him know what we were doing that he is okay and aware.
We went out with one of our guest Ginny who desires to be a doctor and SreyWut to find one of our staff's house. Khan one of our caretakers lives close to the babies house and is the one that told Wut about the baby. We would ask Khan to introduce us to the family.
Khan was out planting rice when we arrived and was slightly shy about her appearance but offered to take us anyway. About 10 minutes later we arrived at an old cement house on a dirt road Khan asked the family if we could see and talk to them about their child. The family was happy and said it was alright.
Who is she?
Solida Pho a girl was born April 23rd 2009
So she has just turned 3 years old 4 months ago, she is a beautiful happy little girl with a very real need. She is very healthy, very alert and extremely happy to have visitors.
She was born with Hydrocephalus or with swelling on the brain, you can read about on the attached link below if you wish.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrocephalus
Basically she needs what is called a "shunt", a shunt will let the fluids out, reducing the pressure on the brain and stop her head from growing.
What are we doing?
Right now we are trying to make contact with some doctors here that might be able to help her.
They said yesterday they try and only work on adults 13 years and up. The hospital they referred us to in the past has turned them down saying they are unable to help.
So will send out some emails and see if I get any leads.
What can you do?
For now just pray. Pray for God's will and that we would find a doctor to help.
Are you a surgeon or know one who is?
They can contact us.
With answers might come other request.
Warning;
This picture might be difficult to look at, it is not altered. I did only take one photo and she is oddly positioned so she looks a little funny in the photo. I was up by her head and she is tilting looking at me take the picture.
She is a beautiful little girl, alert, aware, responsive if I had the time and they would let me I would scoop her up and take her home with me.
