Tiny Naan

Tiny Naan is Sopheap's arms

We are praying and fighting to keep this wee lady alive at this time. Donnie was very worried that Naan would die on her way in from the province. After three months of miserable life, Naan weighed just 1.2kg.

She did get into a hospital for about four days before returning to us. There is no suck in her little mouth but slowly she is getting bottled formula into her wee tummy. It has been a frustration trying to get mum to understand that we must measure her intake through the bottle - that hanging her on the breast all the time is achieving absolutely nothing. It's at the stage where to be firm is more important than nice - Sue and our girls are taking charge more, lest Naan fade out before our eyes.

The last weigh-in had her at 1.6kg - still well under a keepable snapper in the fishing boat, let alone a living child. Please pray with us.
