Little Roda :) (part 2)

Roda loves my sunglasses

We are ready to go to church. The loud noise from the drums she doesn't like very much. So we weren't able to stay too long. But her brother, Bullis, came to church too. 

Playing with other children

blowing bubbles!

Roda and big brother Bulis

Meet the family
Mama Rebeka, little Roda- age 3 years, baby Bob- only 1 weeks old, and brother Bulis- age 5 years

Roda is continuing to do well during her stay with us! She is responding well to the tuberculosis treatment and gaining a kilogram (2.2 lbs) each week! Now she is over 16lbs and eating everything in sight! She consumes 5 packets of plumpy nut (2500 calories) each day along with many other Sudanese foods. She is learning to walk again and rebuild those muscles. She talks a lot and makes all sorts of silly noises. Even some noises that sound a lot like a monkey! She makes me smile and am I glad to be able to spend time together.
