Update on Elisa

For those of you interested in my earlier blog about Elisa, the girl we flew to Haydom for the CT scan: Yesterday I ran into Elisa's grandmother and 2 of her aunts at Selian. They were there to pick up more medications for Elisa. I have no idea what they said to me, but all three shook my hand and went on to thank me in Kiswahili. and to describe that she's eating and running and jumping, and apparently doing very well despite occasionally having seizures. I found a nurse passing by to help me translate and we made sure that they had the right medications for her, and that was that... we'll see her in clinic on Tuesday.

I really wonder what will happen in her life in the coming years.

And now, for your viewing pleasure, here are a few pictures taken with our camera by some of the Maasai kids in the bush. They love cameras and don't really have any of their own, as far as I can tell. I think we may have some budding photographers out there...

(the 1st one, the one with the boy squatting down, is my favorite - which is yours?)
