Slumber Party!

We had a guest staying with us on Monday night. His name is Venuncio Enrique. We are calling him "Little Ben". Oralia from the Children's Home brought him to clinic on Sunday because of a problem in the private parts area. They thought he might have a hernia and that it might be emergent. Leslie and Duane flew him to the city on Monday to see a surgeon but it turns out that it is something called "hydrocele" which is just like a water blister on his testical (Don's description). It will be absorbed in time so no need for surgery or anything. Anyway, Leslie told Oralia that we could keep him a few days to give her a break. Leslie had him Sunday night and we kept him Monday night and all day Tuesday. He is almost 2 months old and only about 8 or so pounds. His mom is sick and has another child so she didn't think she could take care of him. The kids just loved having him here. They took turns feeding him and holding him. He slept really well. Leslie would like to take him back in the next day or so but we wanted to share some pictures with you.
