Hello All:
I have just spoken with Leah and she sounds very good. She is in the hospital in Kabale and will be for a few more days. Lots of people will be going to visit her from all over Uganda. She even had a contact from someone in Sudan…She assures us all to be a peace and especially her family, who she thinks “need to stop freaking out”, cause she is on the mend. Gee, if your family (and not all family are blood relatives) doesn’t react to stuff, who can you count on to do it for you? It just means they love you….and they believe in prayer. Special thanks to Caylin for keeping us in the loop too.
I told her that the network went national on prayer chains, etc. So there was little option but to get better because she dislikes all the attention so much. She needs to relax in the soft bed and enjoy a hot shower or two. She calls Bekah her rock star, strong and steady, good to have her as a friend. We are sooo glad the girls have each other for support as well as the many Uncles, Aunts, brothers and sisters in Uganda who love and care for them.
Her dear friends, Matt and Crystal Kehn, will travel to see her on Saturday ( the children’s evangelists in Mbarra from the children’s home where Leah first started to fall in love with the kids). The Kehn’s just happened to have an American Dr friend visiting them who was going to Kabale today for a medical conference.( No coincidences in God.) A special thank you to Dr. Theron. He has checked her out and He is currently enroute to the hospital pharmacy with Bekah to get specific antibiotics for her recovery. The malaria tests came back negative. However, she explained that he advised doing treatment for it as it is a cyclic problem that occur 48 hours and make you feel flu like but will test negative if you test off the cycle. So…
The fever is probable cause for the seizures. No fever, no vomiting, no nausea, iv fluids to restore hydration. Doing great. Maybe some pesky parasites need eviction. It is comforting to know that although we have limits, God doesn’t and He has spies everywhere to tell us how she is….. ours Actually, having Leah tell us herself is wonderful. Faith and trusting go hand in hand and it is a challenge to let reign where fears want to intrude. What did you former experienced missionary friends of our endure all by yourselves?
She will email more when she is able. The rains have been so heavy travel is not easy, so access to the internet and electricity has been difficult and limited. We look forward to sending you a regular adventure next time. We are grateful for the internet and telephones. But we are especially grateful for all the support of so many who care about Leah.
Well folks, it is daytime in Uganda, but quite late here. Kind of cool to think Leah was better last night there when it was today here….
Thank you!
The Roberts Family
