Our little baby is out of the hospital!


Our little baby is out of the hospital and doing much better. She has been diagnosed with Hypothyroidism, which causes many medical problems. This little girl is going to need lots of prayer because life is not going to be easy for her.


We had prepared a special outing for the children for Friday afternoon but, on the morning found out that four of our children from the MacAlpine home have mumps!

In order to protect the “public” we have to put all the children under quarantine. This was really disappointing for the children because they have been talking about this outing all week. If no more children develop mumps we should be able to go out next week. However if another case develops, the quarantine starts all over again!

o pour little baby, we hope and pray she'll be fine soon!!!

Too bad the outing was cancelled hey, but what on earth are mumps? Never heard of it, do you know the afrikaans name? Maybe i'll recognize that :)?

wish the caregivers lots of strength in taking care of all the sick children,

lots of love

Oh, my. Poor McAlpine babies! I hope they'll get to go on their outing next week... and I hope that they're being good while they are probably growing restless from being quarantined.
