The youngest Kwashiorkor patient

Late Sunday afternoon the nurse from
the center called Sister Anna telling
her our 5 month old Kwash baby (a twin)
was very listless at the center. With
Marie's help they found Dr. Alexis and
Dr. Mikal (cuban residents). They
diagnosed the infant to be hypoglycemic
and hypothermic. I had been at the
airport getting luggage so when I
arrived at the center they were warming
the baby with a goose neck lamp and
feeding the baby by syringe some
dextrose water. Luckily the baby was
able to suck and swallow. She went
from being listless to opening her eyes
and looking around. Hats off to the
cuban residents!
