This is one of our saddest cases right now. Mom is mentally deranged. Father is out of the picture. No one to take care of him or his two smaller siblings. The young girl in the background of this photo is an eleven year old who came with him to the hospital and she is his caretaker at the hospital right now - an 11 year old neighbor - missing her primary school. When he arrived he had no underwear, pants, shoes and nothing to drink out of. So I bought him a blue plastic cup and found some cool blue striped Osh Kosh B'Gosh train conductor overalls in our donated clothes bag to put on him. The little girl keeps his bottoms off though because he's not potty trained and it's easier for her to clean him up. The little girl says she will go back to school on Monday and after that, we will have to take more charge of him ourselves. He's honestly one of those cases where it went through my mind of taking him in. As Dr. Blaise said, "How do men react in the U.S. if you already have a baby? Do you want a baby? He can be your baby." Posted by Picasa
