A prayer request for a friend and her family

Last week we got a call from Summer, whom we have know for many years, to ask if she could stay with us whilst she got some medical tests done.  Summer and her husband work in a place called Kitgum in Northern Uganda.  You can read about their ministry in their own blogspot www.fromglory2glory.blogspot.com

The medical tests were to be done to make sure her liver was clear of all malaria parasites as she had been having recurring malaria.  Thankfully these tests came back clear but she explained to the tropical disease Doctor that she still wasn't feeling well.  The Doctor took some further tests and the tests revealed that she is suffering from anemia due to some internal bleeding.  The Doctor recommended that she fly to Nairobi as the correct tests were not available in Uganda.  On Friday she will have some exploratory tests done, an endoscopy, colonoscopy and laproscopic biopsy.  She flies to Kenya tomorrow and will stay with a friend there before being admitted to the hospital on Friday.

Zane, her husband remains in Kitgum looking after their 13 children.  Pray for safety for the family as they are apart and for wisdom for the Doctors to know the cause of Summer's condition.  Also that she would have support in Kenya during this difficult time.  She is hoping that a friend who returns from the States tonight to Kenya can be with her in the hospital.  Pray for God's provision for her in these days.
