After a few blog posts from our family now it's time to show you more of the ministry work that's been going on. God is truly at work here! Permaculture training, water well instillation, medical clinics, cleft palate/cleft lip surgical events, and sharing the Gospel through it all! Praise God for His work!
This post is about our sweet baby Lennison. Remember Lennison is one of the children that our family has been providing formula and bottles for since the May ConnectMed visit. Lennison was born with a sever cleft palate and cleft lip. He lives in a village across the street from us. He has gained some weight but not as much as we had hoped.
This past Wednesday Lennison's mom and Lennison appeared on our doorstep. Lennison was running fever! Those are the LAST words we wanted to hear. The Operation Smile cleft palate/lip team will be here on the 2nd of August. He needs to be well, and fat, for consideration for surgery!
We rushed him to ABC Clinic because we knew they'd do an actual blood test (rather than just prescribe a malaria treatment which is what most clinics do). The blood test showed extremely high WBC's. He has been admitted to the hospital receiving IV antibiotics since Wed.
As of today they are still awaiting results of a Sickle Cell test to see if he may have Sickle Cell. He is just as of today fever free but will be reevaluated on Monday morning by the dr.
We don't know what this means for Lennison's surgery. But we do know that God's timing is always perfect. Pray that the doctors figure out what Lennison needs, and that he will be healthy and grow in weight. Pray that if it's God's will he will still be able to receive the first of many surgeries needed to repair his mouth and lip.
We will keep you updated as we know more.
"For we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, those who are called according to His purpose." Romans 8:28
