Mercy goes home!

Mercy has gone home. I (missionary Michelle Windell) went this morning and cleared the bill. She was all smiles. I have put her photos on. Here are the finances: 300,000/= beginning. 10,000/= Diana asked for, 84,000/= hospital bill, 45,000/= doctor bill. It is amazing how much the doctor cut from his bill. This leaves 161,000/= about $2,040.

Paul (headmaster from her school) has been so great, he has been to visit and even taken some little gifts to her. The doll she has in her lap is now called Faith! Paul is going to be sure she gets "proper" attention, as proper as village can get. But he will be sure a nurse or someone looks after her. I think he has gone everyday to visit them. When he arrived at hospital this morning, Mercy ran to him and gave him a big hug! He is a great guy and I know he will look after her well. Thanks for all your doing for her. I know the mom is grateful.

Mercy



Mercy is a young girl that we met at the feeding center in Vipingo, Kenya. She had fluid on her brain that had caused her head to swell more than three times its normal size. Mercy had headaches and seizures because of this. The Sunday after our return Hillary presented Mercy and her situation to the church. That day we raised enough money to pay for Mercy to have surgery that would save her life. April 14 Mercy went into surgery. Thank You to all of the people who helped Mercy. She will be in the hospital a few more days but is doing well. Please keep Mercy in your prayers. We will post another update in a few days. God Bless and Thank You!

"I visited Mercy today. She looks good and her mom says she is doing well. The doctor told her she may be going home Friday. I took her some milk, cookies, coloring book and crayons, poor thing, she looked scared to death when Les, Simone and I all walked in. The facilites are nice and her mom was so very friendly."
