This little child came to us last summer with Kwashiorkor. He was 3yo8months in this photo which was near his discharge. Unfortunately, today I saw him again for the first time since last year and now he has rickets (lack of vitamin D and calcium) along with his older brother who has had it for many years. He's 4 1/2 years old now. Unlike last summer, one of his legs is deformed now causing him to not be able to walk well. He wasn't able to step forward with his right foot today. Or at least not without my help. Sad thing is, he was fine summer of 2006. Ughh.
