The Gills in Malawi

Visitors to Hope Village

Thu, 02 Feb 2012 12:10:00 +0000

A week after we arrived back in Malawi we had our first visitors of 2012!

Jim and his son Chris joined us and were here when the rain started. We had to buy them some wellies so they could get around site without falling over and getting covered in mud, it was that wet!

It was a different kind of a week with all the rain that we had. Chris has been before but this was the first time for Jim. We all went down to the village after the flood and Jim helped by meeting with the chief and discussing what we would be doing to help the village.

Jim has been an amazing help to me, fixing my electric oven and fitting a new water filter that we got from South Africa that takes out the salt from our tap water. They also meet a couple of our babies Samson and Amy Grace. We said goodbye to Jim last week as he headed back to cold Scotland but we were so thankful for his input into our lives here and for everything he did whilst here.

Chris has been doing a football programme with the kids this week, the temperatures have been well above 40 degrees though so he has been sweltering, even a couple of the kids on one of the days stood under a tree and said it is too hot to play!

Unfortunately we haven't been able to take them on any outings due to the fuel situation but that is life at the moment in Malawi!

Settling back in

Wed, 25 Jan 2012 12:45:00 +0000

Firstly I would like to thank those who have responded to the post on the flood. We are thankful for your prayers and also your donations. Just giving a little can help a lot. The situation is bad but we serve a big God and nothing is to difficult for Him.

Our trip back to Malawi was good, we had no problems at the borders at all, which we were very thankful for as we did not want to have to unpack the car and re pack it! Thank you Lord! We arrived back on Saturday the 15th to no internet, thankfully it had been raining so it was cooler. Paul was able to fix the internet problem after a couple of days so we were happy to have contact with the outside world once again

Since being back we have found the devaluation of the kwacha to have not only hit us with a huge increase in food prices but also the local people. There is a record high for the price of a bag of maize of MK3700 (£15.50), a lot of people don't even earn this much in a month. The fuel situation seems to be no better if not worse than before we left, we stood in a queue for several hours the other day for a small amount of fuel, not even a full tank!

Hope Village is green, after a lot of rain we have had. The children are all doing well and the staff, it was great to see our friends again. Repair work is being carried out on our first 2 children’s homes and they are looking great.

Since returning we have fresh challenged to face. The first is to help Iso Village recover from the flooding that destroyed so many homes. We also found out that 2 of the babies homes we support have fallen down so that is something we will be looking at. The school work will be continuing thanks to funds we have received and as always we face many daily challenges.

Please continue to remember us in your prayers, we really do need them.

Rain and flooding.....please pray

Mon, 23 Jan 2012 13:10:00 +0000

Over the last 5 days we have had an unbelievable amount of rain. The river has steadily risen behind our house and the whole site is very muddy. On Sunday evening the rain continued and had devastating effects for many many families in the villages that surround us.

One village alone, which is close to us and to the river was flooded and 20 families lost not only their houses but most of what they owned. Some houses fell down completely and some lost a wall or a roof. We went to the village to have a look and the chief took us around. Many houses had collapsed completely, he told us that out of the 49 houses that are in his village 38 of them have been affected.

The chief was helping get families to safety during the night and was chased by a crocodile. There have been more than one crocodile spotted and they are so dangerous, please pray that nobody gets attacked by one. The families are now camping out in Pastor Ganizani's church and in the chiefs home.

The most immediate need that they have is for pit latrines. The chief is worried that the children of the village are in danger of water born diseases due to many of the pit latrines that were at peoples houses being destroyed.

We certainly can't help everyone but our hearts go out to this one particular village, if you are able to help in any way please get in touch with us as soon as possible. They have lost everything, we would like to offer them hope.

Happy New Year everyone - our journey since October

Wed, 04 Jan 2012 06:45:00 +0000

This post is a lot longer than normal but I hope you enjoy reading about Gods love, favour and blessings.

Well it has been a long time! Too long! We left Malawi on the 15th October thanks to God's amazing provision for a holiday for our family.

We decided to drive down to South Africa which we had never done before, we travelled over 5 days and we were glad we did as the drive is long. We prayed every day for our journey and that we would not have any trouble with the police on the roads (we had heard that they could be difficult). The journey went very well and thanks to some advice from friends we stayed at some beautiful places along the way. We had the most amazing fish platter with lobster which only cost £45 for us all and it had about 8 lobster on it. We had not seen anything quite like it!!! All the way we just kept thanking God for this opportunity. It was just what our family needed.

A special thanks to our heavenly father and also to the wonderful people who made this possible.

This was the amazing fish platter we had at Morrungulo in Mozambique.

We arrived at my parents house on the 20th October. We were tired but excited for our up and coming trip to Mauritius.

On the 1st November I celebrated my 40th birthday. It was wonderful to be here with my family. I was spoiled! Paul arranged for me to have a massage along with my mum and Chloe. I also had a pedicure and a manicure. It was bliss! We all went out for a special meal at a wonderful restaurant. When they brought me my cake they also presented me with a bouquet of flowers. It was a night to remember!

On the 5th November we left South Africa to go to Mauritius. We were so excited. This was our first family holiday in a long time! When we walked into the Le Cannonier we were blown away, it was stunning in every way. We were given a cool towel to refresh ourselves and a welcome drink and then a porter took our bags to our room!

There are so many things I could write about here, it is hard to choose. One of the top highlights has to be Joel getting baptised. He asked Paul one day to baptise him in the ocean so we all headed on down, it was a moment we will never forget and the sky was incredible. Another highlight was a trip to a Crocodile park where we saw giant tortoises, they were so cool. The kids also got a chance to go parasailing which they loved. We went kayaking, on a catamaran trip to a small island, a glass bottomed boat trip (which made me feel sick lol), windsurfing, snorkelling, swimming, had a go at archery, tennis and everything the hotel had to offer. It was a holiday we will never forget. The food was amazing and I am sure we gained quite a few pounds! The day before we left one of the waitresses we had befriended arranged for a little surprise to be put in our room, see picture below. The day we left we walked around taking photos the tears began to flow as I felt an overwhelming sense of gratitude for this amazing time away.

Joel being baptised.

Don't you just love him!

What a lovely surprise

Goodbye Mauritius....what an amazing time we had!

On arriving back in South Africa our holiday was not over, my parents had a time share week that we were able to use so off to Durban we went. We stayed in a self catering apartment overlooking the sea. We were on the 7th floor which was quite high up and it made my legs wobble.

We visited an indoor climbing wall. Chloe and Benj climbed half way and Paul and Joel climbed to the top. I took photo's! They loved it. We also visited Usharka aquarium and watched the seal and dolphin shows. We loved the dolphin show so much that we went back to see it again. I was sitting in the crowd praying for favour and that one of the kids would be chosen to meet the dolphin and I was chosen. I couldn't believe it! It was an experience I will never forget, I got to feel its heartbeat, kiss it, feed it and wave goodbye. God is so good to us!

It was high!!!

A special moment

One of the main reasons for this time away was because Paul has had quite a few health problems this year. We thought that the break away would ease the pains he keeps getting in his chest but it didn't. Thanks to Elim arranging for an appointment at interhealth, Paul few back to the cold to have a full medical check up. If you would like to know more on how you can pray for him in this area, please get in touch.

Paul enjoyed seeing family and friends whilst in the UK and especially having some time with Lauren. He was freezing at times as it has been such a long time since he has been in such cold weather!!!

On the 23rd December we were surprised by the arrival of my brother and his wife from Scotland. We had suspected something but it was still a lovely surprise. We have not had christmas with them since 2006. On Christmas day they came over in the afternoon, it was so special to be together. A perfect christmas, the only thing that could have made it better was if Lauren could have been with us. She spent christmas with her boyfriends family, we are thankful that they welcomed her in.

All together again!

After christmas, Chloe had the idea that we should have a bit of fun and all take turns to do a come dine with me style meal and competition. Unfortunately there was no £1000 up for grabs but it was fun all the same. My Dad did one evening, I went next, then my Mum and finally Paul and Chloe.

We had some delicious meals and everyone made so much effort, it was a lot of fun. Paul and Chloe won and well done to them, not only was their food delicious but their table was stunning.

My fancy name tag made by Paul & Chloe

Paul & Chloe's impressive raspberry souffle.

So after a wonderful rest and lots of special memories, far too many to write down, we are heading back to Malawi. We will be leaving here on the 9th January and arriving back there either the 13th or 14th. Please pray for our journey back and that we will not have any problems at customs. Also pray that once back in Malawi we will be able to get some fuel.

Thank you for your continued support and prayers. We really appreciate you and thank God for you. We pray for a blessed 2012 for you all with much favour and good health.

A big welcome to Barbara and Lorraine

Sun, 09 Oct 2011 03:55:00 +0000

On the 1st October we welcomed Barbara and Lorraine to Hope village. They are from Elim Wiggin. They work as nurses in the UK and came out not only to bless Hope Village but to also volunteer at one of the hospitals in the area.

They have been with us for a week now and I know already what a big help they have been to the hospital. They have been able to assist in all the hospital does and have been welcomed by the Doctors, staff and patients. My prayer is that what they have taught the people they have been in contact with will continue after they leave us. I have seen God break their hearts for the people here and that is very precious.

We went out into the village on Friday to do a mobile clinic, they saw many many people. Some had minor things wrong but with the right medication so easily treated. The local goverment hospital has little or no medication at the moment so the people are really suffering. Going out in this way was a real eye opener and very touching.

We look forward to the coming week as Barbara and Lorraine will be helping at Hope Village. This morning we are off to a local church. Barbara will bring the word and Lorraine is going to be singing a song. We look forward to see what God will do.

On the left is Barbara and on the right Lorraine.

Baby news

Mon, 26 Sep 2011 14:45:00 +0000

This is a little later than normal. I did not weigh the babies this month as it was the day of our friends funeral but I did get our visitor to do it.

Melody enjoyed her morning, it was such a big help to me. All the babies have gained weight and are all in good health this month.

Isaac's sponsorship has now come to an end but we will continue to keep him under our care until he has his cataract operation. We also say goodbye to a very big healthy Fred and to Manuel who has improved very much, his development, although behind, is getting better and he is now trying to pull himself up and stand, when we first took him on, he could not even sit. Please continue to pray for Manuel.

We have taken on 3 new babies who you have not seen on our website. This is the first time we have been in a position of having the money for 2 of them before needing to look for sponsorship. Praise God, may it continue! The first is Tito, a very very cute baby boy. When I weighed him he just looked up at me smiling.....so lovely! The second is Donwick, they told us he was 9 months old but when we looked at his book realised he was a year old. Is is so so small for his age. He is in need of help. Lastly is a newborn baby, Beneto, he was born premature and they put him in an incubator for 1 month. They did not advise his mum to keep her milk flowing by expressing it and so she dried up, when he was taken out of the incubator she had no milk. She brought him to us screaming. We are so thankful to Elim Ireland for helping this little one, and to God for His provision.

Above is a pictue of Tito, I could not resist putting his nappy on after weighing and just letting him lie there for a few minutes as he seemed so content.

Thank you to those who pray for our babies and to those of you who have helped these little ones. They touch my heart as they are so vulnerable so thank you, thank you thank you! Please continue to pray for God's provision and for eahc and every baby in our care, that they would florish and be healthy.

Baby home offically opened

Sun, 18 Sep 2011 05:55:00 +0000

On Friday Pastor Ray Cotter opened a new home on site. This home is a baby home. The money to build the home came from a group of people from Ireland who walked the Great Wall of China and raised money by doing so. Thank you to all of you who took part in this event!

The home will be used when a baby and guardian come to us for assistance with milk. We will take the guardian and the baby into the home for 3 days and give them training on how to make the milk and how to sterilise the bottles. We have found especially with the old Agogo's (grandmothers) that they don't always understand the first time they are told and on 2 occasions we found out that they were putting in the wrong quantity of water to milk powder, resulting in the baby not gaining weight.

We will also use the home if we spot a problem or if the baby is very sick. Again we will ask the guardian and the baby to come and live on site with Lydia to get extra support and care in the time of sickness.

We are excited about this new home and pray that God would bless it. We are so thankful to God that up until now He has supplied funding for all the babies who have come to us for help. Please join with us in prayer that this would continue. Please get in touch if you are interested in sponsoring a baby....we never know when the next one will turn up!

With a heavy heart....we say farewell!

Sat, 17 Sep 2011 05:10:00 +0000

On the 14th September we also had to say farewell to our dear friends. Rebekah, Jon and Caleb began their long journey back to the states to be with family and have a memorial service to honor the life of Daryl.

We are thankful for God's favor on this precious family during their flights and we were so overjoyed to hear they were upgraded from their flight from London - Dallas. It brought tears of gratitude and joy to my eyes!

It is always hard to say goodbye but this I have to say was the hardest of all!

Please continue to pray for this family, that God would continue to pour out his love on them at this time, that He would give them peace in their hearts and that He would provide for all their needs.

I chose the picture of the sunset to go with this story as Daryl loved sunsets! So I felt it was right for that reason but also that this was our time to say goodbye to our friend.

A welcome visitor from South Africa

Sat, 17 Sep 2011 04:40:00 +0000

On the 1st September we welcomed Melody who came to visit the project from South Africa. She was with us for 2 weeks, getting involved in all that we do. She was a big help to us over the period when we lost our friend, we were thankful that she was here to be with the kids and to help with practical things like making meals.

Melody enjoyed going out with Pastor Ganizani to the bible studies with the guardians, she came out with us to one of our feeding centres, she helped prepare the food for the feeding centres, she played games with the kids, helped me get christmas boxes ready for the kids, weighed our babies, prayed for the sick and many other things. We really enjoyed having her with us and are thankful for all her help.

In the picture on the left, Melody was telling the kids at the feeding centre the story of the men letting down the paraletic through the roof, we used one of the small kids and put him in a blanket to demonstrate. In the picture on the right, Melody was showing the kids a game, there were bells tied to the string and the kids had to work their way through the string without ringing the bells....it was fun!

Melody left us on the 14th September and we pray that God will continue to bless and enlarge her heart for the poor.

If you would like to visit us, please get in touch. We would love to hear from you.

A tribute to a wonderful friend

Fri, 09 Sep 2011 06:40:00 +0000

This week we received a phone call asking us to come and be with our friend as her husband had been killed in a tragic accident. In the words of his wife Rebekah, he died doing what he loved doing most....being adventurous! We were then and still are now in complete shock.

We have know Daryl, Rebekah, Jon and Caleb for the past 2 years and they have become very good friends to us. We love the passion they have for Jesus and the servant hearts that they have. Daryl was a complete joker and was always teasing and having fun with the kids. He was a man that stood up for righteousness and truth. He was a man who loved photography. He was a wonderful husband, father and friend. He loved africa and had such a heart for the people here. He was always willing to go where God lead him. I know that his life touched many including our own. We will miss your encouragment, he always knew the right thing to say.

He died on the 7th September and was buried on the 8th September with the most beautiful sunset which he would have loved. His funeral was very special.

We are thankful that we had a wonderful weekend away at the Lake with him and his family at the end of August. Memories that we will keep in our hearts forever, especially the delicious fish and chips he made us all! Daryl, we will forever hold you in our hearts and we will miss you, we know that one day we will meet again! Our loss is heavens gain.

Please join us in praying for his family.

Free from pain....but sadly missed

Mon, 29 Aug 2011 11:20:00 +0000

A little while ago I told you about one of the staff on site who had liver cancer. He worked for Paul and Esther as their gardener and over the years they became very fond of him and he was more a part of their family than an employee.

The early hours of Saturday morning he died. We were very sad but also relieved as he had been in so much pain, we can really thank God that he is free from pain. He had been given morphine to help but not as much as we may be given in the our own country. We visited him on Friday and we knew he did not have long left so said our goodbyes to him.

We all went to his funeral on Saturday and Esther shared what was on her heart which gave clarity and understanding to those who did not know what was wrong with Renard. He has left behind a wife and 3 young children. Please pray for the family...I know they will appreciate it very much.

Surviving against the odds

Wed, 17 Aug 2011 11:55:00 +0000

I want to tell you a story about a lady who has really touched my heart.

She was washing her clothes in the river as many people do but did not expect a crocodile to be waiting in the water. It came up out of the water and bit into her arm, she fought it off and managed to get free. She was in hospital for a very very long time, she lost the arm that the crocodile bit into and the remaining arm is very damaged and her hand does not function normally due to the damage.

When she returned home to her husband he left her as she was no use to him any more. She has been begging for food since then but finding it more and more difficult to get food, sometimes not being able to eat at all.

I am so happy to say that God provided a sponsor for her and we are now helping her with food. When I met her I was amazed at her strength in coping with what had happened to her. I asked her what was going through her mind when she was being attacked and she said I was just thinking how am I going to manage. Her name is Christine, please pray for her, how great would it be for God to heal that hand so it is fully functioning!!!

Fuel and demonstrations update

Wed, 17 Aug 2011 11:35:00 +0000

Praise God!!!! We got fuel today! We are very very happy! I had a feeling yesterday that we would get some and on our way back from dropping Les off in Blantyre we saw the delivery truck at our local fuel station so pulled in to see what they were delivering. It was diesel but we were told to come back in the morning as they were closing. So at 6am we went along and filled the car up.

The planned demonstrations have been cancelled! I don't know the full reasons but know that there was a threat of the army being brought in from Zimbabwe to take care of it. This is a quote from a circular we received today

'If any riot damage occurs as a result of an assembly or a demonstration, every organization on behalf of or under the auspices of which the assembly or demonstration was held, the convener, and every person participating in the assembly or demonstration, as the case may be, shall be liable for that damage as a joint wrongdoer together with any other person who unlawfully caused or contributed to such riot damage. '

They have said that the next planned demonstration will be a month from now on the 17th September. Your continued prayers for this nation are so very much appreciated.

Baby news

Wed, 17 Aug 2011 11:10:00 +0000

Our babies are all doing well this month.

We thank God for the provision of a sponsor for Samson, the newborn baby. I am humbled and amazed every time that God provides! He had terrible nappy rash when they brought him in to be weighed so I gave them some sudocrem that came on the container and asked his guardian to bring him back the following week for a check up, I was so happy to see the cream had worked and he was not screaming in pain any more. The above picture is of Samson.

Isaac went for another check up at the eye hospital. Lydia said they removed his eyeball to examine the cateract! Yikes! I am so glad I was not there!!! They are happy with the progress and will operate on his eye to remove the cateract when he is 2 years old. We still continue to pray for a miracle healing though :)

We said goodbye to one set of twins as their sponsorship time has now come to an end. They have progressed really well and we are confident that they will grown into healthy young girls.

In April we said goodbye to Violet as her sponsorship had ended. We had a visit this week from her and her guardian as she is not doing very well. She has swollen legs and signs on malnourishment. When Lydia asked the guardian how much she is eating she said they have one meal a day. I have asked them to come in later on this week so I can take a closer look at her and we may need to try and find a sponsor to help the family.

Fuel and more demonstations!

Thu, 11 Aug 2011 13:30:00 +0000

We managed to get a small amount of fuel this week but have not been able to fill our tank since the 8th July!!!! Please pray for God's provision for us.

We have found out that the next protest marches will be taking place on the 17th August, please pray for wisdom as this is the day that Les leaves and we need to get him to the airport!!! Please pray for peace! There is no change in the government, in fact they seem to have made people more angry with some of the comments they have been making.

The kwacha has been devalued meaning that there will be a 20% increase on everything. This will hit the local people really hard. We are praying that God will provide some extra money for us to increase the staffs wages. If you were thinking about joining up to project 200, now would be a great time, with this increase and 20% drop in our income we need a miracle.

If you can't help financially the please pray for us, we value your prayers more than you could know! Thank you to all our supporters for what you do, we really appreciate and thank God for you all.

Goodbye Yomi......Hello Les.......

Thu, 11 Aug 2011 13:15:00 +0000

We had a great 2 weeks with Yomi and were sad to say goodbye to her. The plane that she was leaving on was also bringing another visitor to Hope Village!

They would not allow her to take her hand luggage on the plane as they said it was to big, even though it was the same one that she brought with her! Thankfully they allowed her to check it in and all her luggage arrived safe. We prayed for Yomi before we left and prayed that God would seal in her heart what he had done while she was with us.

We were excited to welcome Les off the plane, he left Hope Village 3 years ago so it is very exciting for everyone to have him on site again.

We love having visitors to Hope Village!!!!!

The picture on the left is us with Yomi and on the right is Les with the pre school kids.

Go out.......

Thu, 11 Aug 2011 12:45:00 +0000

In our bible study last week we read Luke 9 v 1-9, in v 2 it says 'and he sent them out to preach the kingdom of God and to heal the sick.'

It just so happened that we were taking our visitor Yomi, out to the feeding centres that week and I really felt moved by that scripture and could not stop thinking about it.

When we went out on our first outreach we prayed together and I encouraged everyone to be open to what God wanted to do.

We had fun with the kids, we support 15 kids at this centre but when we go and visit kids come out and join with us and we must have had about 200 kids if not more join the group to praise God. Yomi said what was on her heart and then we took the adults to one side to talk to them while Paul told the kids a story.

We prayed for anyone who needed healing and 2 ladies were healed. Thank you Jesus! I also felt there was one in the group that had visited the witch Doctor for a charm to be put around their child, I explained that Jesus is the one who heals and that putting a charm around your baby can not bring healing to it. I encouraged the person (I did not know who at this stage) to just pray about it and ask God as to what she should do. A while later a lady approached me and told me she was the one who I had been speaking of. She said she was hiding it but had a strong feeling that she needed to come forward and she asked me to remove the charm so she could burn it. I thank God for his revelation. We prayed for many people and continue to lift them up in prayer as many were in such need.

They asked us if we could come back again another time for us to pray again! The kids also had lots of games with Charles and Lydia came along to clean any wounds that the children had.

On the Thursday and the Friday we visited the other 2 feeding centres and loved being with the children. I am always moved when we go out by the poverty we see and the little that the kids have but then I have to remember that we can only do what we can do with what we have, that we are not their provider and that God is. It sure does lead me to prayer that is for sure!

First fruit

Thu, 04 Aug 2011 05:58:00 +0000

When we returned for our furlough, we were blessed with some money to purchase pigs. we were given enough to get 3 pigs but because of a good exchange rate at the time and a good deal we were able to get 5.

Last week one of the female pigs gave birth to her first litter. She had 11 in total, two died, the rest are doing well. She had trouble giving birth to the last piglet and after prayer and finding a man who would know what to do, he managed to save the piglet and the mother.

This week the second pregnant pig gave birth to 11 piglets. One died and one is quite weak but we give thanks to God for all the new life that we have on site!!!

Wow.....God is so good to us! He provides for ALL our needs!

Thu, 28 Jul 2011 05:36:00 +0000

As a lot of you will know we have had a few troubles with our health this year. Paul has been having trouble with his breathing since January and in April ended up in hospital on a drip. I also have a couple of things that have been bothering me too.

We had the amazing opportunity to meet with a Doctor/councillor who was over from America at another project. He spent a long time talking to us and we really appreciated his time and compassion. He found Paul to have high blood pressure and felt that Paul is exhausted and in need of a holiday. He found a bakers cist behind my knee (not a lot can be done for this here but it is not pleasant) and I also have plantar fasciitis in one of my feet which causes pain when walking! Oh my goodness we do need a holiday!!!! lol!

On the day we saw the Doctor we received an email from someone who said they really felt we needed a holiday and were going to send us some money for one!!! Paul read the email and started laughing and crying and felt a physical weight lift off his shoulders. At the start of the year I had felt to pray for a holiday and have been praying since February for this, I even felt God impart faith to me for it. How amazing is our God...he supplies all our needs and knows what we need even before we ask. I am still amazed at His provision for us and goodness.

So since we received the email we have had a buzz in our house. We have been hunting on the internet for different places to go. We will not be able to leave Malawi till October as we have visitors till then, and we plan to take a slow drive down to South Africa through Mozambique to save some money on the airfare from here to there. So we are planning to take our holiday in November. We would like to go somewhere hot and our hearts desire is to go to an all inclusive. We know that God has the perfect place for us! If you have any suggestions we would love to hear from you.

We will also be able to fly Lauren over to South Africa and spend some time with her there before we travel back to Malawi! God is soooo good!

I was going to wait until we had found our holiday to share this amazing news with you but I woke up this morning and had this song going round in my head 'look what the Lord has done, look what the Lord has done' and felt I needed to share our testimony with you all. When I look at what God has done for us this year with our car and now this I can say I am truly humbled and grateful.

Our first baby lamb

Tue, 26 Jul 2011 12:26:00 +0000

One of the sheep we have gave birth to a little lamb at 4am on Saturday morning! We were woken to the dogs barking so went to see what was going on. We found the guards trying to take the lamb and mother out so that it didn't get trampled on by the others in the pen and die.

Unfortunately the mother has rejected the baby and is not interested in feeding it at all. So they have been bottle feeding her. She is so cute and when you go into the pen she runs up to greet you and see if you have anything for her. We are praying for her survival and so far she is doing well.
