Good News for Matilda!

Goods News for Matilda!!

 

Upon our return, I learned that Matilda, the 7 year old who had been unable to walk in August because of spinal TB, is now taking a few steps with the aid of sticks working like crutches.   The strong TB medicine is working better than the doctors had hoped for.

 

Yesterday I was so excited when the Children's Hospital in Lusaka called to say that a spinal surgeon is arriving for 10 days.   They have asked us to bring Matilda on Monday morning to be evaluated by this surgeon to see if he would be able to help correct some of the damage surgically.  We will keep you posted!
