So I woke up with new spots. They weren't as bad as day 1 but they itched a lot more. We decided to see the doctor and they gave me another cortisone "iv" and sent us away. They are getting better but not as quickly as yesterday. I know I'll be fine but it's annoying. The most annoying part is the fact that I've been stuck "resting" for the past 2 days. I miss Namatala and my sweet Chede and her sisters and her neighbor kristyn. Hopefully tomorrow they will be gone and I'll be able to be with the team. Please pray with me that this ENDS FAST! I'm tired of being stuck in the room in Uganda. My nightmares came true lol. Please Lord make this end so I can go back out!
In other news, yesterday Becky and Kristyn took mama Irene and the 1 year old daughter Sarah and the almost 3 year old son Amaza, which are the same size, to the hospital to have nutrition treatments and lessons for mama on what and how to feed the babies. We had planted a garden near their hut last week so that she would have food to feed them once they are out of the hospital and the food is grown. They left mama Irene with money at the hospital with the babies when we realized I needed to see a doctor. Last night we got word that mama Irene WALKED all the way home from the hospital with one baby on her back and one on her front because someone stole her money. Today the president is in Mbale so they couldn't get around very well to take them back to the hospital. I guess we are doing that tomorrow. I hope this mama realizes the urgency of her babies needs and decides to stay no matter what until treatment is done this time. Amaza won't make it if she doesn't. Pray for these people. I know I keep saying this but the malnutrition problem is VERY apparent this year. I know it was there last year but it seems worse now. Maybe I'm just more aware. I don't know. All I know is that it's desperate at this point.
Another thing you can pray with me about is my role here. I know I'm supposed to be here but I don't know when, for how long, what I'm supposed to do, where I'm supposed to live, etc. Please pray with me that I would have wisdom and understanding in what God wants from me here. Thanks!
I hope everyone is well in the states! Love and miss y'all! More later.
