Ah Moon

The news from the hospital has been down and up. Yesterday, they discovered that she had an abcess that the antibiotic did not seem to be gettting to. So they needed to operate and and remove it- it was about 5 cm long, shpaed somewhat like a large date, between the bone and the muscle on the inner left thigh right above the knee. It went well, and she seems OK today- eating heartily. Her Dad just got back from the hospital and he is encouraged. They will have to keep that incision open and clean the area up for at least several days before they can close it. FYI, she is Burmese, so she is not covered by insurance here. The hospital bill will be substantial, but nothing like the USA. Shelby and I are planning to help out so Legacy does not have to foot the whole bill (so other needs do not suffer, as much). Join us if you feel so motivated. Seng Aung is one of the translators here, and he is the one who is translating articles, etc into Burmese for the churches there. (I am writing up some of my classes in a form that can be used for this purpose.) Senf Hpa, his wife, runs the kitchen at the school (although the other students, mostly boys, are doing a fine job while she is in the hospital with her baby.) Thanks so much for all your prayers!
