That's 16 my friends...not 16 kids and counting, but instead 16 babies have chicken pox currently. That makes a total of 24 who have had or have spots. Many of them are just spotty and itchy. But a few are feverish and fewer yet have high fevers that are difficult to control. There were more oatmeal bathes today (thanks Tracey for being amazing) and many applications of calamine lotion! We have had to start using a separate container to hold all the ibuprofen to be given out at breakfast, lunch, and bed time. It's all a bit chaotic I have to admit.
There is one HUGE thanksgiving in the midst. Not one of our HIV+ kids has started with spots during this time. I am claiming this as supernatural protection. Just maybe they won't get it and if they do it will be after all the others so we will have extra time to spend watching over them. Praise God for his protection over them...may it continue!
Just keep the prayers coming...for protection for the little vulnerable guys; healing for those who are itchy; fevers to disappear; tias to be renewed; missionaries (Tracey and Valerie) to be full of love and compassion; and for the nursing staff to remain refreshed, wide-eyed, and wisdom filled! Thanks for joining us on this adventure.
