Update on Kristina

Here is another update on Kristina.  Thank you for praying for her!  Bro. Chris



Dear friends,
A tiring night for both baby and mom. The ear doctor has told us the infection has gone down some but is still there. The good news is that her temperature had finally come down, and seems to be stable. The doctor told us she believes the kidney may be ok now because they found no more infection signs in her urine. So we are very happy to hear that. Sadly though, he stomach is still having problems. She is having diarrhea all the time and her stomach is hard. She has been complaining all night, keeping Larysa up as well. The doctor doesn't want to treat the stomach yet with anything other than anti-gas med. She is still waiting for the ear infection to go away so they can then concentrate on the stomach. Also, please keep Larysa in your prayer as she is now getting sick. Yesterday she started vomiting and diarrhea. So this virus is really working hard to get everyone. I am not sick...yet!

We asked to have the baby moved into a "paid" room for more privacy and "luxuries". Meaning we are going to a room with 5 patients with one sink and bed side stool, to a room for two patients with a TV, small fridge, microwave, sink and tea pot. We are paying for this room rather than for the socialized free room. The cost is not much and we gladly accept it, though still primitive.
More news on the baby is that she was able to walk yesterday after they took out her IV. It's now six days since she ate anything and she is losing weight. She is far from out of the woods with this and we are very concerned.
I would like to say THANK YOU for praying. It is touching our lives. We have heard from so many people from all around the world. Thank you for passing our letters on to others so that we would be lifted up to our Lord in prayer. I thank God for all of you! 
Please find attached some pictures I took yesterday in the hospital. Larysa mom and dad are here now and wanting to help. 
Till next report, may the Lord richly bless you!
