Caleb Maina-Update

I would like to say thank you to all who have been praying with us and also supporting financially towards Caleb's surgery and medical bill.

Yesterday Caleb had a CT Scan and at some point think got unconscious, due to lack of oxygen and he had to be rushed to the ICU. The mum called me in a panic and requested that we pray for him and later on we spoke he was ok. The scan show narrowing of the aorta..Nicoletta says the doctor said his is 4 and it should be about 11-12..as you will notice I need to do more research on this to understand. Good news was that his valve is not that bad and surgery maybe to widened the aorta and all else will be ok.

We have been able to raise and send USD 300. Seems little but its alot in our eyes and we apprecaite all that have given us. The mum has gone with a cheque of 150,000 rupies given by a well wisher which amounts to USD 3,500. The hospital has requested that we raise at least USD 10,000 before they can do the surgery.

Prayer Point
Kindly pray that they can accept to proceed with the surgery as we look for the money. Kindly pray that we can be able to raise the money required and most of all for a successful surgery for Caleb and peace for mum, his family and all their friends.

God bless you all and I know you are praying and standing with us.

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...
