This little friend has TB, but she’s not coughing. Xrays revealed severe bone damage in her leg, and 3 weeks ago she couldn’t stand. For a few months before coming across the border to the mission hospital, she just sat on a mat, with her leg swollen and painful. After treatment with antibiotics and now a week of TB meds, she’s able to stand for a bit before she needs to sit. She will need to be on the TB meds for at least 6 months, with a good prognosis because she is young and can grow new bone. We are thankful that they braved coming across the river, and thankful that this sweetheart will most likely be running along with her friends in the new year.
