Update on Jitta Bug

Dear friends and family. Thank you for you praying for OUR patients. Late update, but good news! Jitta Bug went home weeks ago. She is truly a miracle baby! She healed beautifully! I have posted some photos of her in the left column. Thanks for your prayers. I could feel your prayers as I cared for Jitta. Many of you know, my nursing speciality is NOT pediatrics. I love babies, and especially the African babies, as you can tell from my writing and photos, but my nursing expertise is NOT children. I studied pediatric nursing in school and I am trained to safely care for children, but it is not normally my thing. Ill, cranky, precious little weak ones scare the daylights out of me! I love them so much it hurts me to watch them suffer. But, once again, in Africa, things are different. I care for children on a regular basis now. If we have pediatric nurses working, we assign them the young patients, but we do not always have pediatric nurses around. I am becoming accustomed to caring for children and I actually love it. Your prayers are being answered in many ways. My African babies and I send our love!

Laura, We are so happy to hear about Jitta. We always know God knows best and in this case he will be a blessing and a witness for his parents and relatives.
Your letters are a blessing to us to as they really let us know a lot of what is happening in Africa.
I am always checking to see if you have a new blog. Guess that comes from being retired and having nothing better to do. But do enjoy them. Will keep praying. I love you Grandma Jan
