| Leonard was taken to Nairobi for diagnosis initially by our team on the first day we saw him. This photo was taken when he returned. They biopsied the lesion but did not culture it at the Nairobi Hospital. Two weeks later, he would be taken back to the hospital, put through a battery of tests and treatments to finally make a diagnosis and begin treatment. |
