Elizabeth, her baby Katie and her dad coming for a visit this morning. He lives deep in the cloud forest and walked several hours to catch a bus to see her. This is the first time he has seen his grandchild and his first grandchild. We spent 4 nights, under medical supervision, syringe/tube feeding the baby with mothers milk until the baby learned how to eat, attach and respond to feeding. Our ministry here at the pregnancy hostel to newborns and moms is to give them a good start so when they go back to their primitive conditions in the reserve they have better chance. Right now the infant mortality rate in the reserve is 40% higher then the rest of Costa Rica. stbyrce.org
