Marina, our new helper, holding David | Maria 3 1/2 years old. She came to the hospital from the orphanage to be treated for bedsores which were all over her body. They were open wounds right down to the bone. She had a tube in her nose and they said she had no swallowing instinct. Her arms were contracted across her chest. With work, perseverence and patience, she learned how to eat off a spoon, she opened her arms and she responded with joy to love. One of the doctors said, "Maria has come to life!" |
