Well, then you’re off to see the doctor every day of the week.
For 15-month-old Kenth, a trip to the doctor is a daily occurrence. Last year, Kenth was diagnosed with hypo-thyroidism and has needed to be on daily medication and attend regular check-ups through a specialist doctor. During this past year, Kenth has also suffered from multiple Urinary Tract Infections, which then led to a complicated circumcision. In addition to these medical issues he has been to see a developmental doctor and has been referred for several test. It seems that when it rains it pours.The past month has been filled with appointments for a variety of different doctors’ visits, lab work, and test. And I must say, Kenth has been quite the trooper. Just about every morning, he’s fed, dressed, showered, and
loaded into the car, diaper bag in tow. Of course each trip out is expected to take several hours; lots of traffic and up to a two-hour wait for the doctor is always anticipated. It seems that with a lot of care and the right medicine, Kenth has finally made a 180 towards complete recovery.One challenge that we still face is an upcoming surgery to correct his circumcision. As physically difficult as this will be for him, there is an equal financial difficulty for us here at New Faith Family Children’s Home. My prayer has always been that each of the children in my care would come to know, trust, and love Jesus. A further prayer of mine is that Kenth would continue to be held in the hands of the great Healer. I trust these things with our amazing Lord and ask that you would too.
