This is Michno. He is approximately two years old and weighs 13 and a half pounds!! He's so tiny he fits into size one diapers!! This tot was pretty much starving to death so we are helping him out by having him spend several days a week here at our house and providing his mother with milk and some food for him. If his condition doesn't improve quickly we'll take him in for a month or two. He is quite fragile so please pray for him that he could grow strong and healthy. Also pray that we could help his mother learn how to properly love and care for her precious son! He is such a sweetheart!
On his upper leg you can see how loose his skin is.
It's so much fun to put little bites of food into his eager mouth!
Love this sweetie pie!
2 Days Later (Friday).
We were excited to have Michno with us again today! He is so unbelievably skinny and today he tested positive for malaria, poor baby he's so brave!! His eyes are a lot brighter than they used to be and we're working hard on that weight!
Will be praying for him and for you to know how to best care for him.
