WUNDERLI WANDERINGS

We are now in Switzerland on furlough.  Unfortunately two weeks into our furlough Joshua was in a lot of pain in his big toe.  We had been treating  his sore toe but it wasn`t getting any better.  Late last Thursday night Simon took him to A&E whereby he was admitted for an infection.  He has been on IV antibiotics since.  Yesterday a decision was made to operate on his toe and remove some of the infected part.  Joshua doesn`t do well with needles and anything associated with pain.  They had hoped to do the procedure by local anaesesthetic but Joshua really struggled so a decision was made to do it under general anaesethetic.  He went down to the Operation theatre at 1415 and was back up in his room by 1520.  He was a bit groggy for a while but soon recovered and was so happy not to feel any pain in his foot.  Simon and I have been taking turns at the hospital to be with him.  We are awaiting a decision from the Doctor...

This coming weekend we have a former pilot from MAF Uganda returning to help out over the summer months.  He will be staying in our house while we are gone.  We look forward to having Samuel back with us although we will miss having his family join him.  The week before we leave we will be having George and Luan Fellman stay with us before they head back to the States.  There have been too many goodbyes recently.  We look forward to more hellos in the near future :) Please pray for our furlough that it would be a good time of reconnecting with family, friends and supporters.  Pray that Joshua an...
