Can you believe it, it has been a whole year since we went on that long trip out to the village of Benadae to see tiny baby Godwill. Just 4lbs at three weeks old, we knew that if we didn't bring him into the Children's Home he wouldn't last much longer. He got some extra TLC the first few months of his life (from our co-workers the Borns who looked after him tirelessly night and day) and he soon started gaining weight. Today, he is a healthy, happy one-year-old! He is starting to cruise around furniture and I'm sure by the time we get back in December he will be toddling around. I can't wait to get my arms around him!! A massive THANK YOU to everyone that prayed for this little guy, gave us much needed advice on how to fatten him up with out making him sick, and for those that give financially to cover the extra cost of hiring a lady to care for him, formula, and all the expenses that comes from having a baby.
Godwill when we first got him, poor little fellow!
Shortly after we got him, he had to spend the night at the hospital as he was so dehydrated
Baby Godwill today!
