Please put the family in your prayers.
Bright is an Angel, he will never be forgotten.
We thank all those who answered to the cry for help.

Friends of Bright Fuh Committee Members Visit Bright Over Christmas

Thanks for Reading Bright Fuh's Blog and thanks for being Bright's Friend.
Christmas is a time that is so special to everyone, more so to children who look at Christmas as a time when they can have as many toys, gifts, clothes and all kinds of fun stuff to play with and fun times with their families and friends.

Well, Bright remains in the hospital in Yaounde where he is currently being treated and of course with lots of love from his parents and team of healthcare professionals taking care of him.

Well this Christmas, Bright got a visit from some of our committee members who went home this Christmas. The Medical Committee Chair Person Dr. Gwen Shang had visited with Bright and also met with Bright's Doctor. She reported her observations back to the committee. We were pleased that she was able to meet Bright and spend some time with him. Gwen had bought some toys and gifts for Bright, for Christmas.

Two weeks after Gwen's Visit, our Chairman Mr. Gustav Efotte also was able to visit with Bright and Bright's Doctor in Cameroon Prof. Doh. Gustav also presented Bright with a special toy, a talking computer. He described the excitement in Bright's face when he saw toy and for a split second he forgot his pain and tried to get up to play but he was in pain and distress. The nurses helped place the toy where he could reach it without moving his head too much.

I just thought I share the little bit of Christmas that Bright may have had given his condition. Let us continue to Pray for Bright and his parents and all who are caring for him.
