We have returned to a sadder Namwianga than we left. I don’t know if anyone has blogged about little Andrew from Haven 3, but you must know that he is very sick. He started feeling bad the week before last. He wasn’t keeping any foods down. He has been in the hospital since, and reportedly has continued to not eat. His veins keep collapsing when they try to IV him so I was told they were trying drips. There were also talks of a feeding tube, but I am not for sure it was placed or not. We just got word that his kidneys are failing today and they fear he will not make it through the day. It only gets sadder. We also found out that Hamilton has cataracts and is slowly going blind. He is to have surgery sometime soon I think. And we are leaving in two days. Call me Debbie Downer, but that is the bigger news this side of our world at the moment.
Start praying now for Andrew, Hamilton, and every other child. Also be praying for us as we are preparing me leave for Lusaka on Wednesday and home on Thursday. Pray for the kids as they adjust to not having us as their world as they have the whole time we have been here.
We are enjoying some free time after lunch now. Cari and I got into some delicious cookies in the house while Naiveen handed out chocolate. Now Cari is giving massages. Be jealous!
Tonight is GA Olympics, so excuse me while I get my game face on.
Love to you all. Please be praying.

ReplyDeleteDo the aunties/ "they" think that the surgery will help Hamilton and possibly preserve some sight for him? That is so sad to hear about his little eyes! I am also so saddened by Andrew's death. I hope y'all have a safe journey home and your hearts aren't too heavy! LOVE YOU!
