Nhat-a-tat



Here are some photos of our miracle boy, Nhat. We will get the full story together soon, but we thought you might want to see these now.

The photograph above was taken of Nhat about six months ago. Not long after that the girls decided that they really needed to do something - and yesterday he was operated on. A local doctor plced a shunt somewhere inside that beautiful head of his to enable the excess fluid to drain out of his skull. If this procedure was not undertaken, his head would have continued to grow and he would have certainly died due to the pressure on his brain. Hydrocephellus.

These photos were taken yesterday and today.



This is little Nhat and Ms Hoa. Hoa means flower in Vietnamese, but this woman is the gem that is sitting with Nhatty night and day during his recovery at the hospital. She is from the orphanage.











Thanks to all of you that lent a helping hand.
