Tsala's Follow Up

On Tuesday (March 17) three weeks after she was admitted to the hospital’s special nutrition unit, Tsala and her Grandmother returned to the village. Darlene (RN), Anna (RN), & Veronica (Supervisor) went to visit her on Wednesday and were encouraged to see marked improvement. Thanks to a generous donation to the Crisis Nursery we were able to supply Tsala with 12 cans of Lactogen , enough formula to last her about a month.

Tsala’s grandmother is doing her best. However, Tsala’s stepmother will have nothing to do with the baby, and her father has refused to give money for her support. So the Grandmother has asked permission from the father to move with Sara back to her home village, several hours away. We think that the grandmother is Tsala’s best hope. With even a little support from her father we believe that Tsara will make it. In a few weeks we will check on her again to evaluate her progress.
