Being Prego (essentials for the skimmers):
- Watch our latest video: Episode 3!
- Corrections to info given in Episode 3:
- The baby, which we found out is a boy, is due September 17, not 27.
- Racheal has hypoglycemia, not diabetes.
- We went to 40/40 in Zambia, but we received some bad news that someone in our family is terminally ill in the States. We came to NC to be with them for a few weeks.
Having Twins! (extras for the more detail oriented):
Dear friends,
Just kidding, no twins. Gotcha!
As you may know, Racheal had to go to Senegal for a few days to see the doctor. She had to redo some tests we took in our country of residence, but the Senegal doctors proved that Racheal has hypoglycemia (she processes sugar to fast). In short, it's not too complicated to watch and treat. Basically Racheal has to increase her sugar intake, particularly if she's feeling lightheaded. That means she has to always have candy in her pocket...which tastes better than drugs like insulin. Furthermore, she was able to have another ultrasound in Senegal and we found it's a boy!
We went to Zambia in hope of having a month-long training, but we heard that someone in our close family is terminally ill. We left Zambia and came to NC last week. After we have spent some precious time with loved ones, we plan on returning to West Africa in a few weeks.
Prayer ReQuests:
- Pray for our precious time in NC. Pray for wisdom in how to spend this time and wisdom in when exactly to return to our work in West Africa.
- Pray for our family as all this travel puts a strain on all four of us.
- Pray for River Steele as he grows strong. He's probably about 7 inches long.
