Usually on Friday afternoons people get excited because it’s the beginning of the weekend and they get to go home and relax. That’s not what happened here on Friday - Lyn was about to go home, when one of the ladies came to her and told her that one of the children was breathing very fast. Lyn took her Sats (to measure the amount of oxygen in the blood – should be 100%) and they had plummeted to 50, which is very serious. She called our doctor and put the little girl on double oxygen which brought her sats up to 84 but this is still too low and the baby was still in distress. They called the ambulance and rushed across town in peak hour traffic. The doctor diagnosed her with PCP – which is a complicated form of pneumonia that HIV positive children get. This disease can be life threatening so we are grateful that we caught her disease early. The doctor is happy with her progress.
Showing off some of her gifts It became a singing competition on Friday between the boys and girls - needless to say the boys did a good job. They sang and sang. The occasion was the birthday party for one of the children who turned 8 – she was really happy to get her gifts. Thanks to all those people who gave her gifts.
The children were invited to a birthday party on Saturday; the party was at Mama Melanie’s farm. The children love going to the Farm as they get to run around the whole day – they had a ball!
