Little Kuji has Tuberculosis plus Asthma
Bantayan Island, Philippines: March 5, 2008 - Jenna's son Kuji photographed at home after his first Doctor visit ever.
Olympus E-1, Olympus Zuiko 14-54mm f/2.8-3.5 Digital: 1/100s f/3.5 at 54.0mm iso400
I had noticed little Kuji had a lot of congestion in his lungs during the preceding days, and figuring it was maybe a cold, etc. I suggested he visit my doctor in Bantayan Town.
When we got to Dr. Batayola's office, he told me the good news is that he's got Asthma.
...and the bad news is that he's got Tuberculosis.
Needless to say, I was completely stunned.
Kuji had never ever seen a doctor, and he was wonderful during his very first visit; he's a strong little boy.
Dr. Batayola also diagnosed him as being malnourished, and prescribed an appetite stimulant for Kuji; but with the little food the Family has on hand each day, this situation is personally very depressing for me, as a Family friend and advocate.
More later, and please keep little Kuji in your thoughts and prayers.
Good Sunday morning to you all,
