A grandmother showed up one day and brought a tiny starving baby to us. Baby Lori was 2 months old, and she had been surviving on watery shima (maize porrige) after her mother died giving birth. She looked horrible, weighing a mere 2 pounds with nearly every bone in her body visible. We did not have much hope for her survival and it made us so sad so we prayed and prayed that she would live.
Today, 4 months later we have the cutest fattest most adorable baby! Lori has gained so much weight and is developing normally! She is 11 pounds and so healthy! It is a miracle – she is a little fighter, and every day as we watch her grow we can hardly believe this is the same baby we took in those few months ago!
