Constance was discharged this morning and Michael took them out to the Orphanage. He said she smiled the whole way! The Doctor is still amazed at how fast her recovery was. Thank you Jesus! She will be building back strength and she was also put on the ART's for HIV. Her counts are still to high by the WHO standards but Dr. Christa reminded them that with such a severe illness like she had there was an exception to the rule with WHO and so Thursday she started the meds! God is so Good.

Also a couple of friends on Face book where interested in Anna. I gave them Rob and Christa's e-mail as they are the ones who adopted here. If you have questions about Adoption in Zambia they have done it and are hoping to help in some way through their Ministry Africa's Child. Have a great Day! Thanks for you prayers for Constance and all the children.

Anna is doing better as well; she has a yeast infection on her neck and thrust, which is the
yeast infection in her month. We are not sure how they where feeding her for four days before we got her. Any way I started meds this afternoon and Christa said in a few days all would be well. I will be taking Anna out to the Orphanage this coming week. (Anna is the infant we received earlier this month, after her mother died shortly after child-birth. Anna was 4-days old when we received.)

Sheri arrives on the 25th and a team of four arrive on the 28th. Busy days and weeks ahead.

This was Constance in the hospital. The doctor said her recovery from meningitis was miraculous. I took her and Elizabeth (Elizabeth stayed with her the whole time) home to Mapampi yesterday. Constance doesn't warm up to people easily, but she smiled when we crossed the Ngwezi River.
