God You Rock

I'll like to share an update on my ladies and the amazing healing God is doing. First off, thanks for helping me to cover them in prayer. God is answering these prayers right before my eyes and it is so cool. The two women with the wounds are making great strides toward healing and the third went home.

In just 2 short days, Beatrice's wound is 3 cm's smaller than it was on Wednesday and it appears to be healing beautifully. This is an amazing improvement. It is almost mind blowing. Let me tell you only supernatural healing closes a wound 3 cm in 2 days. She is in such good spirit's and I just love walking in to the ward and seeing her face light up to greet me (she even told me I could marry her grandson and stay in Benin forever).

On Wednesday Therese had been put on isolation because her wound had an infection in it that was resistant to multiple antibiotics. It was so sad walking by the little opening in the curtain and seeing how sad and isolated she felt. She would smile at me and say she was ok, but I could read all over her face how sad and overwhelmed she was feeling. She went back to surgery on Thursday and again on Friday to have her would cleaned and surgically closed. We closed the ward that the ladies were on as the number of patients here is dropping and we begin to pack up. We were going to have to separate the two of them into different wards as we wanted to put Therese in a place where the chances of her infection spreading to another patient would be decreased. Before we did this we took another culture to see if her wound still was growing the same organisms and it came back no growth!!!!!! It was going to break my heart to separate them. The thing with VVF women is they feel so alone in their problem and then when they come to a place like this and find other women who have endured the same thing they bond so tightly and help one anther so much. Now thankfully they got moved together and now their beds are side by side. So now we continue to pray that the surgery will help and that her wound will begin to heal quickly.

As I awoke this morning and thought about these two women and how God is good. I was completely overcome with joy. I am a little extra excited that I get to serve Him today. God you Rock!
