Thursday-Mar. 17th - Bill had another good night last night and still free of fever. We are praising the Lord! Dr. Ruth said “Even I say he is better today!” She wants him to stay one more night. Wants his oxygen level to be good, without oxygen, for 5 hours before dismissing him. She wants him to be in good shape for the trip home.
Kim also had a fever free night and still none this morning. She is feeling better everyday..
Did get an email from the travel agent this morning and she wants a date from us as to when we want to schedule coming home. We will be making that decision based on how Kim and Bill are feeling since it requires a 6 hour trip to Mwanza to get a flight to Nairobi on to Dallas. We will keep you all posted when a date is confirmed.
Oh yes, the toilet is fixed and will flush! I have been flushing it by pouring a bucket of water into it so it hasn't just been sitting there! :) Still better than the outhouse that I remember until I married.
The situation with the mosquitoes was much better last night also.
Bill's IV came out last night so had to stick him again. You should see the size needle they use. It is at least 2 ½ inches long and big around! For all of you who will get to see our pictures will see for yourselves when we get home. (I do apologize that I have been unable to post pictures. Guess I am too old to learn some things!) The first place didn't hold so they had to stick him again. We really like the nurse who did it. She is better at it than Dr. Ruth! :) Even Dr. Ruth said that.
We just had a short walk and Bill said that he didn't feel weak. He said that he thought it was because his appetite has been much better the last two days. He had a 2 egg sandwich for breakfast. Later a couple of biscuits (cookies), half a banana, and now coffee and 3 biscuits. Looking forward to rice and beans with onions, tomatoes and green peppers chopped fine for lunch about 2:00 p.m. Tim and Kim are bringing him pizza for supper.
Bill has had a real good day and will probably get to come home tomorrow. He sat up almost all day and had a couple of longer walks this afternoon.
If we get confirmations on flights we will leave here hopefully in Tim's Prado (air-conditioned) on Monday for Mwanza. Spend the night there and on to Nairobi Tuesday afternoon and out of Nairobi Tuesday night to London and then on to Dallas and into Little Rock around 7:00 p.m. on Wednesday evening. Keep praying for confirmations and that Bill will really be kicking up his heels! I am truly feeling fine.
Kim has continued to be free of fever today too! God is so good and we are very thankful!
We will keep you posted on our flight schedule when it is confirmed.
