Yesterday: Lauren (left) and Megan, not looking very sick!
I thought I would just post the scoop on Megan, since so many of you asked. She has been feeling poorly for quite a long time. If you’re wondering why we have let it go on so long, well, it has mainly been because her symptoms come and go, it seems like it may be getting better and then it doesn’t, maybe it’s a virus and maybe not—you know the routine. We were ready to head to Nairobi a while back and then happened to be able to see an American parasitologist who was nearby. She was diagnosed with typhoid (the test not done by him, just the results analyzed by him) and treated with a very strong medicine. After talking to Dr. Dad (pediatrician), he advised us strongly not to use that medicine, which we discontinued. It seemed like perhaps she was getting better, but we’re really back at first base again. She consistently complains of not feeling well. Her stomach hurts, head hurts, body hurts. She is lethargic and just generally puny. We were scheduled again to head to Nairobi when the robbery happened, so that postponed us again. SO, all that to say, we’re ready to get our girl to a good doctor and lab and see what they come up with.
Thank you also for praying for our meeting about safety today.
It was a good one, and God is giving us unity and direction!
Hi.
ReplyDeleteIs your mom's name Anne? Because if it is, then you have a daughter named Hannah. (correct me if I am wrong!) I met Anne a couple of days ago and she was telling me about Hannah, who is about my age and it turns out we have a lot in common! Photography, reading, and writing. What a life y'all have in Africa. God Bless!
love the above comment... small world.
ReplyDeletePraying God clearly shows the doctors what Megan has and how to best treat it and that she may ultimately be healed from it... have a nice trip.
how is/was the trip?
