Camping Out in Hospitals

Hi All,

Please keep the interns and I in your prayers. I have spent the last 3 days and 3 nights in hospitals (Mombasa Hospital then Nairobi Hospital) with one of our interns, who became violently ill (vomiting blood) while we were in Mombasa. I have been busy taking care of her in the hospital, and though we are back at the HEART compound now, it is a busy time of working to reschedule plane tickets and working with insurance companies to get her and another intern back to the states early. She is on the road to recovery, but still weak. She will probably be fine in a matter of days; it just takes time. In addition, the other two interns' time is coming to a close and we want to be sure they feel accomplished by their time spent here in Kenya.

Please be praying for health, calm spirits (to replace a high stress level), and strength.

Thank you for your prayers and understanding. I will give more details later when I have a moment.

Love,
Katelyn

  1. It's hard to be sick and away from home. Prayers for all the interns, especially the one who has been ill, and prayers for yourself and the HEART staff. While making schedules is necessary, very often life does not stick to them. I pray that everyone who went takes something positive back with them.
