where I've been.

For six days now, I have been at the hospital in Nairobi, Kenya.  I had a bad fever for two weeks, and then around my second week, Carrie started having bad fevers too.  Six days ago, we decided we needed to get some real medical help, and both Carrie and I flew down to Nairobi and headed to the hospital from the airport.

Turns out that I had a bad bacterial infection, of gram negative bacilli, in my kidneys that then spread to my blood (bacteremia).  But, thanks be all to God, they are checking today that all my systems are back to normal and my release date will be tomorrow!  Praise the Lord for healing me!  Praise the Lord for medicine and antibiotics!

Here are some shots of me at the hospital:

 Me on the first day attached by iv to "Tony," my iv pole

 My bed

My hospital bracelet--please notice my last name has been changed! 

After my first shower, sporting the old man hospital pajamas

 My room

 Flowers that our precious medical coordinator, Denise, bought for me

 Me free from Tony!

 Carrie and I in our pjs outside the building in which our rooms are...The Princess Pavilion!

Since I also had a cough, they brought me this thing, filled with very hot water and some menthol stuff. I put my mouth on the spout and inhale the steam and soothing menthol stuff.  Throat feels relief!

Thank you for all of your prayers!!!! 

PRAISE THE LORD!!!!
