Update on Abdul


About three weeks ago, Abdul (the 4 year old boy I wrote about earlier, with the eating problems), was taken to Kenya to try and fix his eating problems once and for all. He had a scope go through his esophagus trying to reach his stomach. However the problem was found before reaching his stomach. Abdul's esophagus, mainly the part that connects to the stomach, was almost completely scar tissue. So essentially, nothing he was eating was making it to his stomach. He underwent a major operation, in which the end of his esophagus was taken out and a new "section" was reconstructed and put in its place. He had about 2 weeks of initial recovery, before heading back home to Kampala.

He came back home late Friday night (last Friday.) He is doing extremely well!! What a blessing it is to have been here to witness the transformation first hand!

The picture is of Abdul EATING his EGGS AND BISCUITS!!! Praise the Lord!
