Day Nine-Good News


Samara is really sweating at night and we called a nurse just to proof as they have been saying we aren’t putting air conditioner on or we  are covering her..weird because she doesn't sweat the other times. Samara wakes up about 3 a.m. but today she woke up at 5.30am. ate a banana played abit and slept…The doctor came and we mentioned and he said maybe her lungs are adjusting, We had the stitches removed and Samara cried and cried..the nurses threw us out of room and we could just hear baby girls screams. I went in later and for first time so her scar..not sure how to explain it. 

Well after a few minutes we were given that medicine for sedating her which never works immediately and after 15-20minutes she slept after a few songs she sang along to. The echo went well, we finally saw the four chambers, doctors were happy, sent us for ECG and Xray and all systems seem to say go. We are so grateful to God, again its been a journey and we pray that God walks with us all the way. Sam is still very sleepy and didn’t even eat well..think its after effects of the sedative. We have started looking for guest house coz doc said we maybe discharged Sunday and our flight is early Friday morning.Can't wait to be out of hospital..we have so much to be grateful for..we hear and see people outside ICU.their babies haven’t come out since surgery coz of fever etc..God thank you.

The highlight of the evening was a hot nice meal we ate at the restaurant at the retreat. It was so refreshing to eat chapiti with vegetable stew and hot tea with milk.

My Journey with Caleb's Family

A friend requested me to share my story on the journey we walked with Caleb's family. So below is a very long blog on that over 1 month. Am not sure what is in store for us ahead but this far it has been God. After our experience with Atrial Septal Defect(ASD) through our daughter Samara, I felt within me a call to look for people to partner with regarding kids with heart issues. So In January this year, I checked the net and bumped into a local NGO. The organization basically deals with kids with heart defects from poor families. I thought it was a noble call and contacted the organization. They were fast to respond and I visited them alone and over the weekend on a Saturday with my family. On the Saturday we went, we met Caleb and his parents. This was end of January and they were discussing with the founder of the organization about how to raise airfare for them to travel to India, first week of February. I held Caleb briefly in my arms and his mum kept saying one day her...

Househelps

This morning as we drove to work, we tuned into a radio station that had an interesting discussion...yeah you guessed it, it was on househelps.The background was that there is a lady who has helped develop a curriculum for domestic workers in Kenya and the emphasis is on respecting oneself, good grooming, respecting the job one is doing etc. She was encouraging all employers to enrol their domestic workers for the curriculum but many were hesitant stating that they would invest much in the househelps then after a few weeks/days the girls would leave..but she said if all homes trained the domestic workers then whenever they left, then you would receive one who is trained as everyone has played their role. The morning show had 2 male presenters, and two ladies and what caused a stir was that the men asked one lady.." whether she would employ a househelp who was prettier than her? "Would you employ one who's esteem is high and dresses well if you were married" . The l...
