Jessica
In
2005 we met
Jessica and found her situation to be very unlike one we had ever come
across before. She has no bone between her ankles, and her knee joint
was attached to her feet through cartilage. This led to her being
unable to walk properly.
Jessica's Auntie Kato also had a similar condition as Jessica. Between
February
2006 and September 2006 the family contemplated operations. In
November Jessica and her Auntie Kato had the operations.
Sadly Kato died from complications - this was the first child we lost
through surgery.
Now
Jessica is walking, her feet point backwards to help
her balance. She is doing well and had her first visit back to the
village recently where her family was rejoicing. Next month she will
move back to her home from Besania.
