Natasha was transferred to the Johannesburg Hospital and had her left leg just above the knee amputated yesterday. She is very confused, in excruciating pain and cannot understand why she lost her leg. We all presumed that she would only lose a foot, and it was a shock to discover that the doctors had no choice but to slice off half of her leg. I spoke to one of the physicians who explained that it was caused by a blood infection that was left untreated for too long and so gangrene started and spread quiet quickly.

| Natasha Left Leg Amputated July 13, 2015 |
Today she was transferred back to the
South Rand Hospital, and I am unsure what
will happen now. I saw her this afternoon for a few minutes and will visit her
tomorrow. I hope to understand what treatment the hospital will offer and if
they will send her to a rehabilitation center.
A friend of mine found her mother, Vesna
on Facebook and we managed to get her contact numbers. I spoke to her mother today and explained the situation, and I am disturbed by the attitude and wonder if it is worth the trouble
to involve the mother. As Natasha has been on
her own for so many years, and I do not think, the mother will be able to take
care of her.
Natasha needs to be placed in a
home that will help her deal with the trauma and depression. We are busy trying
to get the welfare involved and I have sent emails to various institutions who
offer support for the underprivileged and traumatised people, but I have not
had any response. I will honestly say that I have not found any caring individuals
or institutions that are willing to help. It is rather sad.
Well I will keep posting updates about the
progress and keep on praying that somebody in Johannesburg, South Africa will
offer to help Natasha. I do believe she deserves a chance to change her life,
after all the years of abuse and neglect.
