Adventures of Healthcare in Kakamega

Thank you for all your prayers, support, emails and Facebook shares!

Monday was one crazy long day.  After getting the kids ready, strapping Eliana to me in the carrier (which was not comfortable on my chest), walking a ways, taking two motorcycle taxies (one for John and Anna and the other for me and Eliana), we got to the Dr's office only to be told he won't be in for 4 to 5 hours! That's Kakamega.  We took a taxi home so Anna could take her nap before needing to head out a second time.

Disappointed and tired on the way home after being told Dr was not in

Rainy season can get pretty intense here so by the time we were supposed to head back to the Dr's, motorcycle taxies were not an option.  God provided another way from a fellow missionary in the area who was able to take us in their vehicle, wait for us and bring us home.

What should have been a quick trip to the Dr's took the entire day; we got home about 8pm.  Then, again because of the rains, we arrived home to no electricity with two cranky and hungry babies ready for bed.  It was an exhausting day, but a good one because I did not need another procedure.

Before he examined me the Dr scared us that, depending on the state of the infection, he might have to re-open and re-drain the infection!  The idea of having yet another trip to the theater was scary.

But, thankfully, after examining me he said we did good to come at the first sign of infection and that we caught it early enough.  He said another round of antibiotics (this will make my fifth) and pain meds, to help with the pain of feeding Eliana, should do the trick.

We appreciate all the continued prayers for complete healing and provision for ongoing medical expenses and a vehicle. 

Sincerely,

The Lwoyelo Family
