More blotches

I thought yesterday that our bout of strange pseudo illness was over since Judah's blotches which appeared first on Wednesday had disappeared by Thursday. Unfortunately this morning he's come up with more spots and they seem as bad as the first round. Fortunately his fever is not as bad... i've had a nurse friend come over to take a look at him, but considering that he's running about like a normal healthy 3 year old it's difficult to imagine that he's in any way terribly ill... He continues to have a very mild fever, but he's not sleepy for afternoon nap and he eats and drinks comme normal. So... what to do? It's difficult to make the decision to see a doctor because we have to pay a lot just to get looked at, which is a real drag especially now when our time in Kenya is just about over and we've spent a lot of money on other things. And the thought of maybe being able to get free Canadian health care in less than a week makes it that much more difficult to go here. argh.

Yesterday evening i chatted on the phone with a lady who works for SIM in Member Care. She and i talked a lot about my issues regarding re-entry. Although i reckon i know most of what we talked about in theory (ie. in my head), there is a lot that i recognize i have trouble putting into practice, or knowing in my heart. Ah well, regardless, it was helpful to talk it over with someone who understands the transitions that moving back to one's home country entail. We'll simply have to see how it goes this time around. Perhaps i am anxious for nothing...

Thank you to all those who are praying for our imminent journey and the transitions that await us apon arrival. Thank you to those who have written notes of encouragement these last few weeks. It is very helpful to know that we are loved and prayed for, since "the prayers of the righteous are powerful and effective". Please add Judah's body spots to your prayers, if you can. That his body wouldnt throw a fit en route and that the spots wouldnt continue to concern me at all.
