Update on Carlos and Steven

Carlos on arrival
Carlos 9 days after he arrived

Carlos is doing much better. He is eating well and drinking milk from a bottle. The pneumonia he arrived with is almost gone, and he has begun to show us his spirited side. He can sit unaided for short periods and is much more interactive. Carlos still complains when we pick him up, but then settles in quickly. He seems to have good and plentiful blood flow and now we are just continuing to care for him as be builds up his strength. Carlos' family is still undecided as to what they are going to do regarding his future. Thank you for praying for Carlos: God indeed has worked a miracle in this little boy.

Steven on arrival

Steven 10 days after arrival

These pictures are to give you an idea of what these little boys looked like when they came in and what they look like now. Steven still has little blisters on his body which were are treating and cleaning with an antibiotic wash and cream. He seems much more alert today and responsive. Steven has been off of oxygen all day today and seems to be doing well. He drank 2oz of milk on and off today. The moaning that was so consistent is less and less and he seems much more content. He sucks his fingers for comfort and we assume that this was a comfort to him, and maybe the only one, before he arrived at our door.
