Today was unusual like most others days as we never really know what the day will bring. Last week when Terp and I went to the hospital to bring home one of our BG babies, we saw a little baby boy in a bed ,who had been abandoned at a dam. He was not in good health and needed to spend some time in the hospital before we could admit him to BG. He was brought to Beautiful Gate today so I got to enjoy the sounds of our Bo'me singing and shrilling to welcome their new baby. It is such an unforgettable sound when I hear the women rejoicing over a new child.
One sad part of my day was seeing a child who was having a "fit" (small seizure). Seeing him shaking and twitching uncontrollably and not being able to help him was a real sense of helplessness. Thanks to our volunteer Jenny, we were able to move him to the clinic once his body settled down and have her sit with him in a quiet place. He fell into a deep sleep and I am praying that he will sleep well tonight so his little body can have a break. Please pray with me that the doctors will have wisdom to know what he needs. He has an appointment for the 28th of February but we are praying that they can get him in sooner.
I do not know what it is lately, but I am overwhelmed by the medical concerns that have been coming up with our BG children. So many who have been sick, some who need surgeries that the government does not want to cover, this young boy who needs a specialist to understand his complicated needs, a child who may need ear surgery,and many other issues with doctors or the hospital that I have not even shared. I praise God that we have hard working and excellent nurses working on campus as we have needed them desperately these last 2 months, and I pray that God will move in the hearts of doctors and nurses in Lesotho to care for our children, staff and everyone else who comes to them, as if doing it for the Lord!
