Sammy K is on the right medicine. They also were able to test his blood to see which ARVS would work the best against the strain of HIV he has. Hopefully the right ARVS will be available in Kenya or through PEPFAR. That would not be an issue in any Western country, he would have whatever he needed. It's only in the poor countries that the world thinks it's okay for children to not have access to what will keep them alive. Like medicine, food, clean water. Something to think about.
As the medicine he's on does his work he's suffering from seizures. Those are most likely caused by the disturbances in his brain caused by CMV. They are treating them, and hopefully they won't cause any further damage. He faces a long road back to what will still be an uncertain future. If your kids ever tell you life is unfair, tell them about Sammy.
The link to My Two Grandmas is for the best blankets ever. My niece makes them and all the kids in Cottage D have them and really love them. They come highly recommended!
