Naomi Today I resigned after a week of hospitalization. When I shook his hand did not seem more 'the same man met her about ten days ago.
remember with pain the day when I saw for the first time.
Naomi, sixteen year old student at a secondary school not far from Chaar, was accompanied to the clinic by my parents angry.
Naomi had a big belly, and at first glance seemed to nine months pregnant.
's father ulrlava the back and went on to say that it was unfortunate that he wanted to know the name of the father of the child, 'cause he would cut his head.
Mother worse, accusing it of having squandered the little money the family, because a pregnancy would endanger the continuation of the school standing economic effort had cost.
Naomi was standing in front of us, his clothes a little 'ragged and her blouse with the school that was struggling to contain a very obvious bump.
and I 'came to mind that scene to bring the Gospel where Jesus 'the woman caught in adultery and asked if it was permissible to stone her, since that was the requirement in the Law of Moses'. I also grant of Christ's answer: "Who 'without sin cast the first stone."
I was then directed to Naomi and I had asked in Kiswahili if he remembered the date of the last menstruation. He could barely whisper, "a year ago", before being overwhelmed again by an attack of the angry father who kept saying: "only the elephants put us both to give birth ... tries to tell the truth 'at least to the doctor. " Now Naomi had been entrenched in total silence, had become catatonic, staring at the floor, and plenty of tears down her cheeks.
I knew at that point that the situation was unmanageable, and had asked parents to let yourself get mad.
well even I did not know what to do or what to say to Naomi, 'cause, from a certain point of view pope' mother and they were right, having paid high tuition.
I then decided to take time to think, doing an ultrasound, which, if nothing else, I would say the age 'gestational states ... one year of pregnancy it seemed unthinkable to me.
without realizing it then, I also had already 'judged Naomi, and unconsciously I had thought that she should deny the evidence of the facts. See that huge bulbous abdomen, when Naomi was finally lying on the stretcher to the U.S., had convinced me even more 'that surely must have been pregnant ... ascites could not be, as the sick had no other clinical signs of cirrhosis of the liver, kidney damage or heart failure.
But the U.S. was a great surprise!
Naomi had told the truth ': she was not pregnant.
The huge mass seemed really 'a giant ovarian cyst.
And now here it is, our Naomi. They are already 'after a few days after surgery: no belly and' round to look like a girl. And 'happy and smiling. Even today his mother and 'relaxed and thanks me for the success of the operation.
Naomi very few days will be able to 'return to school, and those parents will then have the peace' that their money not been wasted.
Naomi has also had its revenge 'emotional on the parents, who may now believe more' in her.
