Before and After

Israel when he first came to us at 8 months weighing under 7 pounds. The feeding tube gave him the nutrition he needed to sustain his life since he could not tolerate food by mouth.





Last week at 16 months old and over 13 pounds, Israel is thriving and tolerating his ARV's very well. The drugs have boosted his immune system and he is eating well. He is one of our miracle babies. Sometimes when I look at him I still can't believe that he was so sick. His progress is amazing. I praise the Lord for allowing Israel to get better and for giving him life today.
