UPDATE JULY 7, 2011:
Praise God that Franz has been given a clean bill of health by a Pediatrician. When we saw him initially, he suffered from what appeared to be a very large, infected granuloma of his umbilicus. Through antibioitics and daily treatments with a medication called silver nitrate, we were able to stabilize him but granulomas of that size do not normally respond well to silver nitrate and must be surgically repaired. However, NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE FOR GOD. We have learned this time after time and again this past week when we learned that Franz was completely healed. Thanks be to God for this miracle!
Franz is a 3-week-old male infant with an umbilical defect that exposes him to infection. I first treated him on day one of our Limasawa mission and followed up daily for the remainder of the week. He had a localized infection which responded well to antibiotics. Unfortunately it is only a matter of time before Franz suffers another infection that may end his life. This defect needs to be surgically repaired. We are hoping to raised funds for the first step in the process, having him seen by a Pediatrician on mainland Leyte. Please consider a donation to WMT to cover these expenses. You will be blessed beyond belief to save this tiny life.
