Please pray for these patients

There is always a mixture of joy and sadness as we work among the people. Here are a few updates on some people that we have mentioned before as well as a few new people that need prayer over the last couple of weeks. Patients who are stable are being transferred to the Vulvulane clinic. We continue to pay the bus fare for them and moniter them to make sure that they go to their appointments and get medication refills.

Jabu #2: Her baby died from malnutrition. He was only 6 months old.  Jabu is doing better and is finally on the ARV's. However, she is experiencing some liver problems from the ARV's. Please keep her and her family in your prayers.

Nochlembo: She was only 32 months old and died from HIV and pneumonia. Now she is with Jesus.

Siphewe: This is the 9 year old girl that we made the night call on, going through the maize field. She's been suffering from severe asthma and is HIV+, was in the hospital, out for a few days, and then went back into the hospital. She is not doing well; very sick with meningitis. Please lift her up in your prayers as she is alone in the hospital and must be very afraid.

Elizabeth: She is a mother of six children and was very sick with HIV, though in complete denial. Through the power of prayer she went to the hospital on Sept 1 to start ARV's. To God be the glory!

Jabu #1: She is doing ok, has good days and bad days. There are times she isn't able to go to the hospital for her chemo treatments when she doesn't feel good. Jabu#1 had met another woman with the same type of cancer but who is dying. Now Jabu #1 is very thankful to be on treatment and wants to continue with treatment.

Maria: Her surgery went well and she is out of the hospital and is recovering very nicely.

Baby Lato: She is officially HIV+. There was a lot of mix up with her blood work, but that is now straightened out and she is receiving food aid. This will allow her to receive proper nutrition.

Vusile: He is doing well and loves scooting around on the baby walker that we found for him. He has gone to one doctor who ordered more x-rays and tests to be done.  He now gets proper nutrition.
