Just came from the doc. He's not too pleased with my white blood cell count. Says if I hadn't gotten the 3 injections it might have been at zero. He's given me antibiotics to take for the next 7 days just in case. I'll see him next on 24th after we return. He says the surgery will most likely be that same week.

God continues to amaze me at the caring He's surrounded me with, some from totally unexpected quarters, but I think thats a big sign of what He does when we open ourselves for Him to use in His vast vineyard. He could prompt us to pray for people we don't even know (like some of you are doing) but the thing is, to Him, we aren't divided into continents or whatever. We are just one big happy family and He wants us to think of ourselves like that THEN we'll be ready and willing to go and do whatever He tells us, wherever He tells us.

I'll talk to you from Lome.
