I work for a NGO company, I manage all the special need children on various farm.
These children are all underpriviledged, come from bad homes / situations within their society.
I have come across one baby that I would really like to get help for , he is 9mnths old and was born 2mnths prem.
He has a twin brother, who is the total oppsite.
This little baby can be comapred to a plastic doll. He lies flat on the blanket on the floor and doesnt bend a arm or leg.
When you pick him up he is not like a "floppy baby".. totally stiff. In order to get his little legs down I need to push them down. He was tested for Cerebral Palsy and this came back negative.
What could be wrong with this baby ? How can I help him ? His parents live hand to mouth and to can not afford suitable therapy, I thought perhaps a students studying paediatrics could do some volunteer work with this baby.
Can anybody else suggest what you think I should do?
