Liz McKenzie, who I've mentioned previously, manages the orphange with her husband Iain. She is keeping watch over young Olvin here, who going on nine months.
Sadly Olvin was harshly abused as an infant. He has multiple subdural hematomas (blood clots around the brain) and now suffers from development delay, seizure disorder and disorganized swallowing. He has a feeding tube but as is quite common suffers from significant reflux causing recurrent aspiration pneumonias. Olvin, absent a miracle will never be normal.
The cynics among you may say why waste the time, resources and money on someone like Olvin, there are times when I would feel that way. But the guiding principal in service here on earth must be Matthew 25:40, "When you have done it for the least of these, you have done it unto me."
