I have mentioned earlier in my posts that I have particularly bonded with one special little boy, Parsley, at the orphanage I visit. Parsley is HIV positive and since I have known him his health has been sadly declining. The week before Easter he had to be hospitalized because he had a very high fever, couldn't eat, and was losing weight rapidly. Because he was admitted so close to Easter, the doctors were not working and it was hard to get the tests and medical attention he needed. I was very worried I might not ever see the little guy again, but then on Easter morning I got a wonderful surprise! After all the rest in the hospital Parsley was well enough to come home! When I saw one of the orphanage workers walk in with Parsley in her arms on Easter my whole heart smiled!
Last week I got to play with Parsley several times and although he is much weaker than before (he can not stand anymore) he was in good spirits and as cute as always. After the kids saw the Lion King a few weeks ago, they play "Simba" all day long, and Parsley loves to craw on the floor after them making growling noises.
This Thursday however, when I went to visit him his whole body was covered in a rash, so he had to be taken back to the hospital. I have yet to hear his status, but please keep this precious boy in your prayers! He truly needs all the love and prayers he can get. Thank you.
