Marianna
This is Marianna, who is 5 years old.
Two months ago she fell and broke her arm. It was an open wound - the doctor she went to see put the whole arm in plaster and told her to return after a month.
When the cast was taken off, the arm was found to be severely infected. She was given a month's course of antibiotics and told to see the doctor again after that time.
The antibiotics were ineffective and the infection has now spread to the bone. She was taken to see several doctors in Luxor who said her arm would have to be amputated.
With the help of Luxor4Care, Marianna travelled to see a doctor in Cairo who cleaned the bone and recast her arm (the bone was still broken). She is on another course of antibiotics and will return to Cairo after 4 weeks to be assessed.
Please keep her in your thoughts.
