I went to visit Lin Lin's daughter in the hospital yesterday. It turns out I got her name slightly wrong on my last post. Her name is Rolyn. Anyway, it appears that she has typhoid fever. She is still having fever and diarrhea. I was able to help Lin Lin get some needed lab work done on Rolyn yesterday - a blood culture and a typhoid test. She is receiving IV antibiotics and fluids. Poor girl, she did not look like a happy camper yesterday.
I explained to Lin Lin how typhoid is spread and how she could prevent it in the future. I read yesterday online that children who are treated while dealing with typhoid rarely die and I was happy to see that Rolyn was receiving all the necessary care at the local public hospital. With that information I was able to encourage Lin Lin. We prayed together over her daughters sick body and I feel confident that she will be okay.
Thank you to all of you who are praying. I told Lin Lin yesterday that my friends and family were praying for her daughter. She was very thankful for that.

As I was praying this "oldie" song came to mind... "You deserve the glory and the honor, Lord we lift our hands in worship as we praise Your holy name... for You are great, You do miracles so great, there is no one else like You..." And, since those were the words, I prayed them for Lin Lin, her daughter and YOU!! :) Miss you!
Oh Jen, I'm so pleased that they know why she is so sick, and that she is getting treatment. And information about future prevention!
