Saturday, 22 August 2009

Wow, what a busy day.
 
Action started almost immediately with several people showing up to see me by 8 AM.  Much of the morning was spent taking care of the generator, cleaning, and helping out around the house and the Welcome Center.
 
Then, it finally ended at dinner time when, while we had just sat down to eat, a new guest at the Welcome Center showed up.  She needed to know where her room was and get a key.  Thankfully, we all had a nice, quiet evening.  Had some good conversation too with some friends who are going to France later in the week.
 
Liddy is still sick but on the mend.  After a couple of days of a 104 degree temperature we finally were able to diagnose the problem (thanks to a neighbor, an employee, and a couple of medical books we've got) as being Typhoid and possibly malaria.  So, we gave her the appropriate drugs for both of those and she's feeling much better.  Was up and around a bit today but couldn't really do much other than sit on the couch.  What a trooper.  She's done remarkably well considering all of the activity going on around her as she laid on the couch for several days.
 
Janice wasn't feeling well tonight so she went to be early.  It would be a huge blessing if she were able to sleep through the night but that would take about 4 or 5 kids doing the same thing.  We pray that one day it will happen.
 
Tomorrow will be a quiet day as Sundays normally are.  Unfortunately for the family it is my day to cook.  Hopefully, there won't be too much complaining!!!
 
See you soon.
