My three-year-old friend, Emmanuel, is back in the hospital again. Poor kid, he must be so confused. His mother's epilepsy has affected her brain, so she keeps changing his name. The first time he came to the hospital he was Emmanuel. About six months ago, he was readmitted with some complicated Kinyarwandan name. And now he's here with the name Valens. How confusing is that to be three years old and already have had three different first names?!
