| Getting Better ..... |
But keep the prayers for Pearl coming...she's not home yet...
 4-6 7:15AM - I just got off the phone with Pearl and, once again she sounded great. She said she has not felt any pain, or other symptoms, for 2-3 days now. She is currently on anti-biotics, hopefully the right ones. I remember she had been on anti-biotics last week, when she first went to get checked, only to have things seemingly get better and then have the pain return. Nonetheless, on Tuesday she is still scheduled to be examined more closely by the surgeon in the theater - yes operating room - but she does not believe there will be any surgery involved. Still, there has yet to be a firm diagnosis. Hopefully that will come soon, as will the assurance that any infection has cleared and the symptoms will not return. Once again she wanted me to thank everyone who has kept her in their prayers.
4-5 8AM - from Fabiola...Pearl is doing much better since yesterday. The surgeon came to her this morning and on Tuesday she goes to the theatre* so that they examine more on the cause of the sickness. I will go to arandis this afternoon and come back on monday....we just went to visit the children and the babies in the hospital. I will come with story books on monday and the two of us will read to the children. Greetings to all...fabiola and pearl.
*we suspect she means exploratory surgery, or something like that. Will try to learn more today.
After reading that text message I couldn't help but smile. If you knew Fabiola and Pearl you would understand why. Despite what ever is going on in their life...the pain, the inconvenience, the waiting to find out what is wrong, etc...they choose to put all that aside and continue to do what they can and find a way to help, encourage, be of service to others in their path...and along the way...don
4-4 Just got off the phone with Pearl. She sounds in good spirits. As the text below says, the pain has subsided...for now. Still, they must wait at the hospital for the surgeon to come. She thanks everyone for their prayers.
4-4 10AM - from Fabiola...We are still waiting for the surgeon. We don't have any idea when he will come to see Pearl. The nurse says maybe today, tomorrow or next week. We are not on medical aid, that's why things go a bit slow. The pain has calmed down for a while. We pray that she will be healed. We miss home.
4-4 6AM - just got another text from fabiola..."the specialists came and checked on her. now they said they are calling a surgeon to examine her..."
4-4 3AM - received text from fabiola....both she and pearl rested comfortably last night. However, Pearl is still having symptoms and waiting to see specialists to determine the cause...
4-3 update. |

| What Matters |
As you let God's design be worked out in you, you will see its impact in
others and for generations. |
Sometimes it's not about your ability to do something, but your availability
to do it that is more important. |
