Zeke's back home

Zeke now finds himself with two mothers for sure! Claudia has been his mother since he arrived at GSF, but now with Gayla helping nurse him back to health she is officially attached. They have spent the past 36 hours bonding. Why are you not hearing from Gayla you may ask…well she is just too exhausted to type. Going into Kampala for an ordinary trip is exhausting, add to it a terribly ill child, a hospital stay, grocery store, the theft of Claudia’s mirror on her car and her verbal encounter with the parking guys, and you have one tired Gayla and one tired Columbian, ready to collapse. We are grateful that he is back on campus and praying that he continues to heal from his pneumonia. He still has a fever and he sounds like he has a rattle in his lungs, but he looks more healthy already.

The medical care here is a two edged sword. On the one hand we would love to have the expertise, confidence, and equipment of our U.S. system. On the other hand, it cost the Renslow family about $700.00 for the surgery and hospital stay. Now, we will notice this money is gone for sure, but we could not get a parking place at the hospital for this much in the States and Claudia has found the best doctors in the country to serve the needs of her little bambinos.  

I will try to get Gayla to give a report later.
