After a summer of good weather and good health, sickness has come to Beautiful Gate and it has been pretty nasty. Coughs, colds, diarrhea, vomiting, fevers and pneumonia. Most of the BG kids have thick "nasal discharge" and colds. Last week 2 of our babies (neither of whom are matched for adoption) were admitted to the hospital for pneumonia. One of them was so severely sick that it is truly a miracle that her life was spared. I am thankful for our nurse's quick action and thorough examination of our kids because she caught both cases early. I am really grateful for God's healing hand in their lives so far and will continue to pray for Him to heal them completely as they are both still in the hospital.
As I write about the BG kids, I have my youngest daughter leaning against me and barking like a seal. She has a pretty nasty cold herself and I am praying that she will be able to get some good sleep tonight so she can better fight it. Please pray for her to feel better too along with all of our staff, volunteers and kids. If you are coming on a team in the near future some hand sanitizer would be a good idea to add to your items to pack :)
