Prayers still needed for recovery at the orphanage. HEALTH UPDATE: Many of us will never personally face malaria — but right now is malaria season in Kenya. Mama is still sick along with the kids, Judy’s whole family, and two of Collins’ boys are all battening malaria. Collins has been tirelessly caring for everyone at their perspective homes like patients in a hospital ward. They can all use some words of encouragement, strength, and prayers for endurance. Parents…you know what it’s like trying to still take care of kids when you’re not feeling well yourself…Mikey and Simon have had it the worst so far. Last week we mentioned they had to be rushed to the hospital for injections and medication.
Malaria is a mosquito-borne disease that spreads quickly during rainy season with the amount of stagnant water. It often begins like a bad flu — fever, cough, extreme weakness, loss of appetite — but while it looks like the flu, the infection can continue multiplying in the body if not properly tested and treated. When severe, it can require stronger medication, injections, and weeks of recovery. For those with weaker immune systems, it can become life-threatening.
Currently, everyone is still on medication and working to regain their strength. Appetites are still low. So please keep them in your prayers.
Medical care, proper testing, and nourishing meals are absolutely essential right now. Walking through this season requires extra time, energy, and unexpected medical expenses.
If you feel moved to help offset these added costs, say a prayer, or to send a private get well video of love motivation and love helps to know they are being thought about around the world. Please dm or we are grateful to you all for following this journey. Know your support truly makes a difference during this time. 💛
