baby Charlynn

Our most recently rescued baby…little Charlynn has not been doing well (for a photo, see April 7th blog note) ...the doctors in Kodai were unable to help so we took her to Madurai...
She had low blood sugar levels, fever, oral thrush, bacterial infection of staphylococci...just generally in very bad condition. Lucky, Eunice and Sudan took care of her round the clock. Please pray for her and these caregivers. Charlynn has been in the hospital for 8 days now. The doctors say she must have been premature because her reflexes are underdeveloped and her weight is just 1.3 kilos/2.8 pounds. Please pray for her continued healing. The doctors say she should be coming home Sunday.

Prayer Alert!

Beth (see previous BLOG note dated April 21st) had to be taken back to the hospital because her chest showed some signs of swelling. The doctor's removed more fluid and are doing a biopsy test on the lump removed from her chest to see if it is cancer (we're told that we should have the results in 2 weeks or so).

We hope to take Vicki and Nancy to the doctor sometime this month...we're short on staff and someone has to be with Beth at the hospital now, so please keep these matters in prayer.
