A Couple of Updates

Kerri

Kerri ventured out of the house yesterday morning for a few minutes. We had a baby dedication for Ellie at our church. She showed up for the first few minutes of the service and stayed through the dedication, then went back home. We went to the hospital today for her first blood check. They are trying to regulate the thinness of her blood with medicine and todays test was to see how thin it was. As for her recovery, it seems to be going well. She is still experiencing ocassional headaches and other symptoms, but each day seems better than the day before. I cannot express how thankful we are for all of you who have been praying for us, sending e-mails, calling, etc... You have all been a tremendous source of encouragement to our family.



Lydia Sitali

The latest is that Lydia is doing well. She is more responsive and talking a little more. There is still a lot she cannot do though –such as sit up, eat and drink by herself, so there is a long way to go. She also still has no sight in either eye although the right eye is now opening. At least she is in the best possible place she could be and there is a lot of prayer support for her. Ernest and Laikah her parents who run both the church and the school are at the hospital practically all the time. Since Lydia and her parents teach at the school, the school opens on Monday three teachers short which members of the church are temporarily filling.
