Caleb Maina's Updates

Let us start by saying God is good. It has been tough but God has just carried us through all the challenges that have come our way. After staying at Fortis Hospitals Bangalore for 11 days with little treatment, no surgery and a bill accumlating to about USD 2,400 Caleb and mum were transferred to Narayana Hrudayalaya Hospitals yesterday the 23rd of March 2012.

On arrival he was rushed to ICU because he had an infection and his fever was very high, fortunately today he is much better and with no fever. Doctors there have agreed to do surgery as we look for the monies and total cost maybe about USD 9,000.She was told by the doctors that Caleb may need more than one heart surgery and each will depend on how he reacts to the other. They say surgery maybe done in the course of next week.

We continue to thank you our friends for standing with us both financially and even praying with us. When I talked to Caleb's mum she said she was unable to pray but I told her we are standing in the gap for her. God has been faithful , so faithful and we anticipate to be sending about Kshs 300,000 on Monday all raised from well wishers. We continue to appeal for your support and thank you so much for talking to your friends about Caleb.

Have a great week and God bless.

Regards

Sylvia

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...
