"Pink eye go away, don't come back another day!"

On Monday we are going to Livingstone to see the Lunar Rainbow at Victoria Falls in Livingstone. Because we will be missing a day's worth of therapy, the group is working a full day today so that we can  get the required amount of hours in. This morning Chelsea continued to have problems with her eye. Her pink eye has not cleared up, and this morning it looked very swollen, almost like a small blister in her eye. Sue decided to take her in to Kalamo town, and I decided to go with her for support. Chelsea and I sat at the pharmacy for an hour waiting on the pharmacist to show up while Sue went shopping. In the meantime Chelsea taught me all about wedding rings... : ) and we took pictures of her eye. When the pharmacist finally showed up, we told him what products she had been using, and he looked at her eye. We now have some stuff that should work! We are praying hard that God will heal her eye.

During the afternoon I headed back to the Havens with the group. I spent the first half of my afternoon in Haven 1 with Joy. I fed her the rest of her bottle, and then got to hold her as she slowly spit up close to all four ounces back onto the blanket I was holding her in. It was frustrating to watch. She got the hiccups again, and that didn't help her mood either. I hope that she will improve soon. During the second half of the afternoon, I went to Haven 2 and played with the toddlers there. My mission today was to take lots of pictures and video of the kids because I haven't taken enough yet this year. It was pretty uneventful in Haven 2 today.

On the way back we walked the main road instead of the path through the bush. It was nice to all walk together and talk at the end of the day instead of walking all in a line. After dinner the power went off for a while, so we just sat and chatted until the power came back on, and then we headed to the Hamby house porch to sing with Webster. After singing with Webster, Webster told a funny story about the rat, which many of the girls videotaped. He is so funny and animated. I am going to miss him greatly when I leave.

Thank you for all your prayers and support! Continue to pray for the groups health! Pray that the pink eye illness is removed from all those who have it!
