		<description>Here is an update on Alexander from the Compassion Kenya office.

&lt;blockquote&gt;
Master Alexander was brought back into the country from India on 18/08/2009 after a successful surgery. 

The surger was done on 03/08/2009, thereafter; the child was transferred to the Intensive Care Unit for post-operative management. 

He did very well and was transferred to the ward on the fourth post-operative day; the sutures were removed on the seventh post-operative day and he was later discharged on 17/08/2009. 

Post-operative investigations similar to the ones done pre-operatively (except for cardiac catheterization) were repeated. 

Currently, the child is on medication as prescribed by the surgeon and is for follow-up locally. 

He is stable and still on school holiday as our schools are yet to resume.&lt;blockquote&gt;</description>

		<description>I received this update from our Kenya office this morning:

&lt;blockquote&gt;We would like to gladly report that Alexander traveled to India on 28/07/2009. 

Preoperative tests were carried out and the reports reaching us are that he went through a successful surgery yesterday. 

As of today, he is still in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU), where he had been taken for immediate post-operative management and he is reported to be in a stable condition.  He is fully awake and even able to sit. 

We give God all the glory and please pray for the boy. &lt;/blockquote&gt;</description>
