Kigen Update, March 13, 2011

Kigen is doing better. I went to see him in the hospital today. He was asleep most of  time I was there. His mom told me that he was better and he is getting some ointment for the wounds and some medication for his ears and eyes.

On my way to visit little Kigen at the hospital.

The younger child Tikitiki, is doing much better too. He can now see and they look very clean. Praise God. The mother has also been able to make friends.

We thank God for the doctors who were able to give the two boys one bed to stay in together as a family. Initially, they were given different wards because of the age difference. In this hospital, people are sharing beds because there are so many who are sick now, and there are limited spaces to put them.

Another update is that Kigen has received blood into his system. The skin specialist has been booked for tomorrow (Monday) and Wednesday is the surgery day. Just note that things can change without notice here in Africa so we will update you when the actual surgery and skin study is completed.

Praying for little Kigen

Nonetheless we praise God for keeping this family well. The mother left behind a sucking child in the village where they live so we are just glad she is here though she had some pain in her breasts earlier this week.

Continue praying for us all as we live here in Eldoret.

Many Blessings
