Gabriel House has a baby again...a three and a half month old, 6.5 pound baby. She is TINY! And falling out of her 3-6 month baby clothes. She's the cousin of one of our boys, Jaime, and comes to us with significant malnutrition and hydrocephalus. Hydrocephalus is caused by an imbalance between how much cerebrospinal fluid is produced and how much is absorbed into the bloodstream. We had a shunt donated for one of our other kids that won't be able to use it, so hopefully it will work for Ines and we'll be able to drain the fluid. 
I was at Gabriel House last week and was able to take care of her as everyone continued adjusting to having a newborn in the house. I also went to the doctor with her as we Please pray for her health as she's already been to the doctor a few times for bronchial issues. Pray for Angelica who takes care of her at night and then works a full day as the director of Gabriel House, and pray for the other kids, that they would show her the love and grace that's been shown to them.
