Update on Cesar

Lots of you have been asking me how Cesar is doing.   If you remember, he was the little boy who we found severely malnourished back in early March.  The latest report I received was last week.  He is still in the hospital and we aren't exactly sure why.  The only person who can give anyone information about him is the doctor and he hasn't been available anytime Ricardo, DeeDee or Cesar's mother have been able to visit him.  So, we are going on a lot of assumptions right now. There could be several reasons for him being kept in the hospital so long:  One is that he is having other complications.  The other is that they are waiting for space to open in a recuperation center.  Another possibility is they are waiting for the authorities to figure out the best place for him to go.

We do know that the Guatemalan equivalent of DCS has been doing a good job of following up on his case.  They have visited his home and his mother had to go to Coban for a formal interview.  I know she was questioned about why he was chained up outside their home.  I am not sure what her answer was.

Please continue to pray for wisdom for all those involved with his care and with decisions about his future.  Please pray that he will be in an environment where he knows love and is nurtured in a healthy way.  Pray that he will know that he is a precious creation and he is worth being loved.
