Sickness

After just passing the one year mark of being here in Uganda, our family was hit hard with sickness. Nathan had been battling a cough for a few weeks, but at the beginning of last week we found out that it had turned into pneumonia. Two days later, we went back to the doctor since Nathan was having more fevers and found out that he also had malaria! Talk about being "under the weather!"

Then, to top it off, I (Kendra) started having fevers the next day. We did a quick blood test and determined that I had malaria as well. We both spent most of the week either sleeping or lying on the couch. Oftentimes we only had enough energy to walk the short distance from the bed to the bathroom before we were tired again! Thankfully, we currently have two single girls staying in the house with us. They were able to watch the kids and keep up with things around the house. We were also blessed by all of the food Andrea Bouffard made for all of us during that time! God definitely provided for us during our time of need and allowed us to rest and recover. We are both feeling much better now. We still get tired more easily than usual, but we are almost back to full strength. Thanks to all of you for your many prayers!
