One of the mercy work case is of a 10 year old little girl called 'Piches'. She is suffering from a condition called encephalitis, and is now almost vegetative. and the hospital they have sent her is a small, poor hospital. If a drip is needed, the family of the patient has to go out of the hospital and buy it, bring it back and the nurses can then do the job. It's not too clean either. Anyways, the doctors say that there isnt much they can do with her condition. I wonder if it is because it is beyond their capacity or is it incurable.
In terms of knowing what to do. sending her home is a problem also since no one is there to take proper care of her, both parents need to work and there are other smaller children around. Leaving her at the hospital also doesnt look like much improvement.
Is there a doctor out there who can decifer the situation?
Or someone who would like to contribute? Every dollar goes a long long way to help this child and her family.
I will post photos of Piches when i get them.
