got my 5 liters of fuel today as that is what we are allowed per week. Looks like they are doing some work on the bridge. Some clever fellows here along with a coffee plantation neighbor have devised a zip line or flying fox to get cargo across. Prayers appreciated that all will work together with smooth relationships.
My friend C is doing much better (she was hospitalized a little over a week ago for an emergency abdominal surgery which has proven hard to recover from). She’ll probably be transferred to a rehab as early as today for another few days to regain her strength.
Her pastor finally got by to visit her yesterday in the hospital, he read Scripture, prayed with her and provided some counsel on some other areas of her life in which changes will be needed in the near future.
Praying this experience will provide spiritual benefits for her in drawing her closer to Christ and sharpening her realization that personal obedience must be fought for daily — it’s a spiritual battle.
My niece is pregnant again. You’ll remember her from the grizzly bear-tree climbing incident when she was pregnant three years ago. (Great-niece is a chip off the old block . . . ).
Delivery the first time was traumatic and the docs nearly lost mom and child (they would have if my niece was not a “medical professional”–a veterinarian–and refused to stay home over her neighbors’ insistence she try a home delivery).. Baby #2 is due tomorrow. No reason to expect trouble, but there wasn’t any last time. Non-believer, but accepting of prayers. Thanks.
Who is the neighbor to “insist” she try a home birth????? I am not against it, but I figured delivery would be the only/last time in my life everyone would do as I said, try to keep me happy, and give me any drugs I wanted. 😉
I am for what the mother chooses to do in a delivery.
She lives in a rural community and was urged by most of the women at her baby shower to try a home birth. She’s the picture of health, of course, a strapping six footer who can climb trees while 6 months pregnant, so no surprises she’d be a good candidate. She said no, and it saved her life that she was in a delivery room when all sorts of awful, unexpected things I’ve never heard of, happened.
Two deliveries in a short period of time were like that. The other, a nurse, lost so much blood her pituitary gland died. It’s amazing so many survive childbirth when you hear weird stories like that in this day and age.

That isn’t much gas Jo. Go uphill first so you can coast back down.

I am a pretty natural person, stay away from medical people more than I ought, but I would not plan to do a home birth.
