Sarahi over the last two weeks

Here are a few pics of the last two weeks with Sarahi. She went back with her family yesterday the doctor is still pretty concerned about her lungs because of the type of worm she has, they go from your stomach to your lungs and then go to your heart, which can kill you. So he has her on meds for the worms for a week, so I have to go to her house everyday to give them to her. :) Which I love because that means I get to see her everyday. :)

Dinner with the brothers

Yesterday I told the boys that I'd cook dinner for them and come eat at their house with their family, and they were so excited. They requested chicken, rice and beans. So I came home and Janet came over and we cooked and took all the food to their house to eat dinner all together. It was so fun just to sit around the table and enjoy everyone's company. The boys loved it and Maria enjoyed not having to cook. :)

Brownies :)


The 6 brothers recently moved out because their dad is done with the Alcohol treatment program and now they have a house just a few minutes down the mountain from us. The boys are still attending the bilingual school and their dad has a job that he is really enjoying. The other day the boys asked if they could come over for a while to play at our house so I picked them up and they came over and we made some brownies. It was so much fun. The boys loved helping make them, and of course they LOVED eating them. :)








All the baking wore this little one out. :)












watching some TV while they waited on the brownies to be finished, and of course licking the bowl clean. ;)

Family visit

Because Sarahi is with me for two more weeks I'm making a point to invite her family out so that they can visit with her during the two weeks. So on Thursday Janet and I picked up her family and took them out for ice cream. :) We're also putting the two oldest daughters in school this week so after ice cream we went to pick up some school supplies for them. While we were out for ice cream Sarahi's father asked Janet if we would start taking him to our church so he could thank God for the miracle he's performed in Sarahi. So the whole family is going to start attending church with us, which I LOVE. The Kingdom is being advanced. :)

Doctor Appointment

This past Wednesday was Sarahi's check up after being released from the hospital. The doctor said she's gained almost a pound in just a week, but she needs to gain about 4 more in a month. That will put her at about 17 lbs which is still under weight, but its certainly better. The lice is almost gone and all the other illnesses are getting better but certainly aren't gone. He prescribed more medicines to help her gain weight quickly and also some medicine to help with all the gas in her stomach. He asked that she stay with me for two more weeks while she finishes up some medicine and so that we can hopefully get her to gain some weight before going back to her parents. So, I have her until the 18th which is her next doctor appointment and if all is well she will be allowed to go back with her parents then.
