It had been more than a week since I post anything here. I intend to post more regularly but events in the past had kept me away from thinking clearly. Ten of the twelve children caught a virus one after another. Perhaps it was Reuven who hosted the bug and brought it into our house. We had been to Chiang Mai to visit the immigration office.
While we were on it, we had a joyful reunion with our friends who are doing mission work in Indonesia. They are our family friends and we spent two years living in the seminary campus. Our children are closed friends and they were excited to see each other.
However their son was diagnosed to have the H1N1 bug and we were a bit apprehensive that our children would catch it too. We were extremely careful and took all the precautions to stay away from the bugs. But yet when we came home, the children started to have high temperature one after the other. In our town H1N1 scare coincided in the season when most people are suffering from flu. The clinics are always full of worried people trying to find out if they have the nasty bug. So we decided to treat the children by ourselves.
Narlin and I had some experience with children’s sickness because we had treated lot of children when we undergone medical training with Assist International before we left for missions. Till last Friday we still had one girl running a fever. Tow of them we brought to the doctor because the fever seemed to last longer for them. We think that they are still suffering from malnutrition, so we thought that they need more medication.
Today the children are all well and healthy although some of them are still coughing and having runny nose. They are up again and kicking each other’s butt (their favorite game). We praise the LORD for his provisions and for his power to heal.
