There was a problem with the picture when I posted it the first time, so I will try again. This is Chisomo, a baby I rescued yesterday from a far off village about 2 hours away. His mother died from complications and he is now the last of 6 children. He came home with me last night and I fed him throughout the night. His eating slowed down a bit and his temperature regulation became more of an issue. I had him skin to skin, aka African Isolette, or more familiar Kangaroo Care most of the night. The plan was for me to keep him with me for a few weeks until he gets bigger and stronger. In the next post I will fill you in on the events of this morning. Please pray for Chisomo to be healthy and strong.

Bree,
This picture reminds me of the one in my office -- you with a baby up on your left shoulder. Only this time, you have Chisomo so wrapped up, he couldn't move if he wanted! Perfect neck support! You're the best surrogate mom a baby could ever have. Love you, Mom
Bree,
So Cher, little african preemie! Gosh I wish I was there with you! You are the best, girlfriend!
