Terapeuta infantil documentó por dos años la vida de una niña con hidrocefalia

Luego de un año de vivir en Haití, Conque encontró a una bebé de 11 meses con hidrocefalia entre la basura, la pequeña presentaba deshidratación y desnutrición.

“Había basura por todas partes; pesaba cinco libras; estaba en terribles condiciones”, dijo Conque al portal The Advertiser.

A year and a half ago today Nika had an NG tube. Back then, she needed one because she couldn’t tolerate but a pinky sized amount of formula and she was severely malnourished…. all because her biological family wouldn’t feed her. Today, she has an NG tube for very different reasons, we are preparing for gtube surgery because her abilities to eat by mouth have declined and her medical team want to make sure she is getting the nutrition she needs. The two reasons couldn’t be more opposite, much like these photos. At 11mths old on the left in Haiti (08/28/14) it shows the horrific effects of gross negligence, of a precious little girl left alone. Today, at 29mths old on the right (02/28/16) it shows the result of incredible love shown by so many people. I get extremely emotional thinking of how God has completely reversed her life story and all of the details with it. She was once alone, she’s now surrounded by people who value and cherish her. Once forgotten, she’s now treasured beyond compare. Once invisible, she’s now able to tell her story that screams how big our God is. We give HIM all of the glory for the fact that you can barely tell these two photos are of the same child. Lord, we bow down in gratitude that we are never alone, you are right there with us; for every good thing, hard thing, and every painful thing…. We trust Your plan and Your purpose… May we glorify You in all that we do. Amen! #NikaInAmerica #miracle #hydranencephaly #hydrocephalus #orphancare #love #littlewarriornika

“La madre de la pequeña trabajaba como sexoservidora, ella había intentado interrumpir el embarazo al beber veneno. Sin embargo, la niña nació”, relató la mujer.

La decisión de Conque fue persuadir a la madre para poder ayudar a la pequeña. Luego de dos años, Nika -cómo fue nombrada- mejoró su estado de salud y ha sido sometida a varias cirugías para disminuir el tamaño de su cabeza.

… And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast. (1 Peter 5:10) When we are suffering, we often feel as though our pain will never end. In comparison with eternity, our suffering is only for “a little while”. If you’ve read Nika’s story, you know that it wasn’t always flower crowns and smiles for her, this little one went through trials so incredibly painful…. But that’s not the highlight of her story. What’s more important than even the trials she’s overcome, is the knowledge that as followers of God, because of Jesus’ ULTIMATE sacrifice and suffering, we are assured of an eternal life with Christ, where there will be no suffering (Rev. 21:4). We have such hope in Christ when we accept Him as Lord and Savior of our lives. There is no fear in death, pain, or suffering because of Him! #littlewarriornika #godisgood #hydranencephaly #hydrocephalus #hydrowarrior #neuroninja #newlife
