Donato

Today a 12 year old boy called Donato was brought to our clinic with severe head wounds.  He was attacked 2 days ago while cycling to the market to sell his mothers groundnuts so he could pay for his school fees.  A man attacked him from behind with a machete as he passed him on the road.  The boy was left for dead, spending a night in a ditch but managed to crawl out and lie on the road and wait for help.  When he got to us, he had 2 large cuts exposing his skull and Dr. John-Paul said the skull is cracked.  We stitched the wounds and bandaged his head.  He is very weak and sedated.  Please pray the man responsible would be caught.  We’d like to take Donato to Nairobi for a CT scan but we’re not sure the family will agree.  Pray for wisdom for us as we procede with this case.  Thank God for the new ‘temporary’ clinic rooms we built, as this boy is able to stay with us and be monitered.
