Phew it has been quite the ride the last couple of weeks. Simon returned home from Switzerland on the early hours of Christmas Eve after spending a week with his family. It was good for him to spend time with his Mum, Dad, sisters and other family members. His Mum has continued to go downhill healthwise and is now no longer reponsive. Her time left on this earth is very short but she had communicated in these last days that she was ready to see Jesus. Oh what a glorious day that will be for her.
Please continue to pray for the family as they care for her at home that God will give them all that they need. Simon will return for the funeral when the time comes. Pray that they would all sense God's comfort.
While Simon was gone the challenges continued. Our dog, Chewy, was very sick one night to the point of being paralysed on one side. Thankfully, she survived the night and I was able to get a vet out to help her. He gave her medicine for tick fever and a couple of other injections. She has recovered well and so we are thankful for that. You don't realise how much a part of the family she is until we thought we were going to lose her.
One of the other MAF families had an attemped break-in on Christmas Day whilst they were celebrating Christmas with friends next door. Thankfully the thieves were disturbed and didn't get in the house. Please continue to pray for safety in this area.
Christmas Day came and we enjoyed celebrating this special time of year with friends. However, the day after my Mum became very sick. To cut a long story we discovered she was suffereing from dysentery. She spent the good part of the day at a small hospital and has been recovering at home since. Pleae pray for a full recovery for her and that she can enjoy the rest of her holiday with us here in Uganda.
Looking forward to 2014 and a year of better health for all :)
