Bebito

A previous volunteer came to be in the boys' house for a few weeks while they are on vacation so I've been enjoying my evenings with just me and baby. He came to us in June without a name and with various health issues: some skin infections (that stretched me because they apparently were contagious, BUT it made me a more well-rounded person!) and continuing tummy issues. The day house mom, who read his paperwork, said that he was in very filthy living conditions before being taken to the hospital for head injuries. He spent a month in the hospital before he was brought here to the Casa.

All that, needless to say, we are quite bonded and our 4am conversations consist of various topics~bacteria, cannibals, his little tooting episodes, the song "Sexy and You Know It"~it's deep stuff as you can tell ;) We are usually up at night several times~AND if you are too (or you just know we need it~because we DO!!!) here are a few prayer requests

  • he seems to have very poor vision (pray for healing)
  • peace and patience for both of us ;)
  • a solution to his tummy issues
  • that his little head would heal right (he had a brain scan several weeks ago and we are waiting for the results)
  • grace for myself
