Potius's hair cut

Granny, Katherine visited for a few days this week. She's from Billili - a long way out but still "within" Kalomo.

She'll take 14 month old Potius home next week.

While visiting Potius came down with diarrhea - he eats way too much off the ground! He's better now and back to eating way too much on his plate.

We'd noticed him scratching his head and found that he had a fungal infection on his scalp. So...first cut the hair and then treat with anti-fungals x 14 days.

Next week Katherine will take Potius to Beit Cure Hospital in Lusaka to have his feet assessed. You can see in the photo that his foot turns to the right.

Thanks, donors for contributing to Kasensa - Beit Cure is free admission, but travelling there via Mazandhu bus with an escort (one of our UNZA students returning to school on the same day that Katherine needs to go) costs about $40.00 Canadian.

Since we'll be in Lusaka leaving from here on Tuesday morning, we'll pick Katherine and Potius from the bus on Wednesday and take them to Beit Cure and then return them with us on Thursday afternoon. I'd better put disposable nappies on my Lusaka shopping list!
