Love is all you need.
Surrounded by a loving family, Francis is, you will be pleased to know, all settled in at Malindi's Tawfiq Private Hospital.
His leg brace, which he will need need after surgery to remove dead bone from his hip joint, has been tried and tested and he's already mastered the art of walking on crutches.
Mama Sue, Papa Dave, our social worker Uncle Ronnie and Francis' elder brother Musyoka all went to keep his spirits up through the admission process.
Musyoka, ever the caring big brother, was at his side every step of the way as were Mama, Papa, Uncle Ronnie and Auntie Janet before leaving in in the capable and caring hands of the hospital medics and our own Happy House house-auntie, Auntie Janet, who will stay with him for the duration of his stay.
She is Francis' favourite "auntie" so he will feel confident and safe with her to look after him.
We will bring you another update on the progress of Francis, 13, who has the bone infection osteomyelitis, tomorrow.
And, with your help, your donations, we will get Francis up and running again - just like it says on his t-shirt!
