Goodbye Kevin

He looked so healthy when he came and I thought he had a chance of not having HIV. Sadly, on Tuesday when we took him to the Doctor, they noticed some spastic movements of his arm and leg and thought there was some neurological problems. Last night he was having troubles with more jerking and he started to get cold. The staff wrapped him up, but he just got colder and finally died. I guess his brain was infected and his systems just began to shut down. Very sad to see such a lovely looking boy have to die because of the bad choices of his mother.

Sverre, Berit and Mama Musa are going to take him to the village where his mother lives for burial. this lady does not bring another child into this world!

    This is a tragedy, my thoughts and prayers are with Baby Kevin. I do hope someone can counsel this mother on not having more children.

    Davona,
    May your work be blessed. You & your staff have done everything possible to care for these children.
    Yes, it has trobled me so much, & infact for some reasons Kevin’s picture did not come out on your web. & I was really anxious to see him. Yes, Kevin’s mom needs help. She seems to care well for her children when they are under her care, but I can not perceive how easy she lets go of her children. No remose at all! This makes me feel that she really needs serious help.
    Thank you Davona
