Big day!

Yesterday was a crazy day...between the big things and the little things it was a bit non-stop and chaotic at times.

we wanted to leave for the hospital with poutch at like 7am as that hospital gets so packed with people waiting to be helped, but didn't leave until 8:30 probably. it was that late because stripe and blacky where brought home fixed and then Nala and the cat Georgie were taken for their turn.

anyway..we were at the hospital from 9am until 1:30pm talk about draining, but praise the Lord...we know what is wrong with poutchino. he has TB...or that is what they are treating him for. he is on an immense amount of meds and will have to return each month to be re-evaluated and given more meds if not healed. i know TB is not good, but to be honest i think its the lesser of the two evils. if his shunt was infected progress that has occurred over these past 9 months could be wiped out, plus two surgeries, healing time...to be honest i was relieved that it wasn't the shunt. now we just need to pray the meds work and he gets better.

then when we got home we had no water, gas for the generator, or kerosene for the lamps so we had to go back out...

then a staff issue/child disciplining thing...then things i needed to work on...then an interruption with not having enough food for dinner. see...Emmanuel had been out with me all day and then leaves at 3pm, Rosemanie leaves at 1 on Wednesdays and i totally forgot. kevs was a big help. we cut up apples for the adults, made juice, bread and PB for the staff and big kids, made 2 boxes of mac&cheese that i had in my room for other kids...and then babies with milk/Gerber cereal. it worked out, but was hectic as i had to figure it all out in like 45 minutes before staff left to go home for the night. however thank you Jesus because Kevs was a big help and everyone had a fun spirit about it! it will definitely be a memory that i keep.

there will be many memories as i only have less than 2 weeks left and trying hard to be OK with that. it is so bittersweet, but i think the hardest thing is knowing i may never live daily life like this, with this community again. it breaks my heart as i adore it. love them all and have really been so blessed to be here.

anyway nala and Georgie came back later that evening and we still very much on meds themselves. they are doing better today, but all are swollen and more docile then normal. however happy day because no more baby animals to try and get rid of. just the five kittens we still have...that are starting to stink up Dorothy's room by the way... :/

OK i better go so we can turn off the generator.
love love love
