Cinderella recovering from outbreak

Cinderella is thankfully now out of the hospital and has been moved to the orphanage medical wing. Thank you all for your prayers and good thoughts! I know that it made all the difference in her recovery. She still will not be able to come for the hosting program, as that is the decision of the local "sanitary committee" - not the orphanage director. For those of you who did not get my email or see my FRUA post, Cinderella's orphanage had an outbreak of Hepatitis A, which is a food/water-borne viral infection. It causes tummy problems, vomiting, nausea, fever, and liver inflammation. In kids it usually has no symptoms at all and clears the body in a week or two. But since Cinderella has Hepatitis C (not active), it made her quite ill. I see this as a sign/message that we need to focus on the adoption, and not bringing her here for a vacation. That money would be better spent getting her and Belle home sooner rather than later. Hopefully this will also send a message to their aunt and uncle that the girls need to come and live in the USA where they can get better medical care - and preventative care, like vaccines. Hep A has a vaccine, which these kids obviousely never got. That's like tempting fate - putting 300 unvaccinated kids in a crowded warehouse, there is going to be an outbreak or three. The director of the orphanage gave us a list of medicines they are going to give Cinderella during her quarentine and continued recovery in the orphanage medical ward - two are herbal supplements - total voodoo medicine with no real evidence to support it- and the third item is an immunoglobulin shot which is what we sometimes use in the USA so that's at least medically reasonable. I just worry about them not using a disposable needle....many many times they use the same needle for giving "vitamin" shots to kids without changing or even cleaning the needle in between kids - they literally walk from one bed to the next sticking the kids. No wonder they have a high Hep C rate!
