The Taiwan Love and Hope International Charity is steadfast in providing 24/7 residential caregiving services to children with neurodevelopmental and genetic disorders. Currently, the organization cares for three children with genetic conditions, ensuring their needs are met despite the challenges posed by their complex medical conditions. As colder weather settles over Taiwan, the flu season has hit hard, with widespread infections reported in the news. Unfortunately, two of the children under the charity’s care experienced severe flu complications, leading to sudden fever spikes, seizures, and loss of consciousness, necessitating urgent hospitalizations via ambulance. While one child was discharged after a few days of treatment, the other has remained hospitalized for over two weeks as doctors work diligently to determine the cause of her recurring fevers. Despite these setbacks, the charity remains unwavering in its commitment to their well-being.
The child still in the hospital is thankfully no longer in critical condition, but her fluctuating fever requires ongoing medical attention. Taiwanese doctors are working tirelessly to diagnose and treat her condition, while staff members from Taiwan Love and Hope International Charity are providing continuous emotional and physical support during her hospital stay. Their dedication reflects the organization’s deep commitment to nurturing these children not only in health but also through challenging medical crises. Everyone involved, from caregivers to medical professionals, is hopeful for her full recovery. The team eagerly anticipates her return home, where she can resume her routine and attend school, bringing her one step closer to regaining a sense of normalcy.
