I got this e-mail yesterday from Nelson Musipa, the director of Navigators in Zambia, where I spent the summer two years ago.
“Dear Friends,
This past Sunday I came back from Kabwe where I had gone to attend a Leadership Team meeting only to find that Tatenda our youngest daughter who had started running a temperature on Saturday night was not improving. We Immidy had started her on Malaria treatment because we suspected that could be the problem especially that we have had a lot of mosquitoes around. We decided that since she had just taken the Malaria medicine we observe how things would go most of Sunday. By 7 PM the temperature was not showing any signs of going down. It would only go down when we give her Paracetamol and as soon as it wears off it would shoot up again. It was then we decided to take to hospital. After examining her the Doctor said that she her Tonsils were inflamed and decided to admit her and put her on antibiotics. Today is the fifth day and her temperature is still on the high side. The only encouraging thing is that she has started to eat again and her appetite is improving. This morning the Doctor said her throat is still inflamed and that the Lymph nodes are also swollen. The doctor decided to carry out some more tests and do a full blood count. Her medication has also been changed. Its been challenging to see active Tatenda not that active, in pain and discomfort.
1. Please pray for her healing and complete recovery.
2. Pray for physical and emotional strength especially for Immidy who is by the bedside.
3. Pray that the enemy will not take advantage of anything and that our faith would remain strong.
In Him
Nelson”
When you think of it, please remember to pray for the Musipas. Nelson is the taller one to my right (your left) in the picture below.
