It is with much relief that we write to tell you about Petra. On Friday she came out of hospital and is now back running around Noah's Ark. It really is one of God's miracles as when Pita and I sat with her in hospital last Monday I really did not hold out much hope. She was in a coma and was being tube fed and she was fitting regularly. The doctors were deeply afraid of brain damage as she had been diagnosed with both cerebral malaria and meningitis. But God is good! She came to on Wed night and was transferred out of ICU. Her brain scan done on Thursday showed no damage and she began bossing her caretaker around that night, so was sent home on Friday. She has lost much weight and will still need prayer to build up her strength.
Warwick got sick Tuesday and went to the Dr Wednesday only to find ....yes you guessed it ...malaria. He was still not getting any better by Sat when he had finished his meds. Another trip to the doctor revealed that he also has typhoid fever. He is now on the meds for that for the next 2 weeks, but is sweating it out and sleeping every day at present. The sheets have been through the washing machine with disturbing regularity. Hopefully tomorrow will see some improvement. Please add him to your prayer list. Thank God for His amazing healing power.
Dora next door has also been having a lot of epileptic fits which have left her exhausted most days, so please keep praying that the doctors can find the right medication to give her a normal life, and the doctor of all doctors can bring healing. Thank you all for your interest and prayers.
