January 11th: \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Bwana Asefiwe!\u00a0 <\/span>Praise the Lord!\u00a0 <\/span>Today was an exceptional day of God\u2019s work and direction for the Hope Mission work.\u00a0 <\/span>We thought it may be a lighter day, but God had other plans for Gayle and Jenny Whitehead.\u00a0 <\/span>We started the day with our last educational teaching on Perioperative Care for the nursing staff.\u00a0 <\/span>Pat did a wonderful job of teaching the nurses today. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

While on rounds, Gayle stopped in to see an ICU patient under the consult of Jenny.\u00a0 <\/span>Before leaving (we thought for the day), Gayle decided to enter (wander) into another area of the ICU where a premature infant boy (now one month old was undergoing respiratory depression requiring manual breathing assistance, and then advancing to pressure breathing (cannula providing forced oxygen) in order to survive.\u00a0 <\/span>To put it honestly, the baby was in crisis and dying.\u00a0 <\/span>It was heart wrenching to watch this tiny little one struggling to breath, with flaring nostrils, and overworked chest muscles.\u00a0 <\/span>I truly believe that God sent Gayle as an expert in neonatal care, as well as Jenny with her physician knowledge to save this child. A side benefit was their opportunity to train the Selian nurses with first hand experience in providing acute respiratory care to the baby.\u00a0 <\/span>Once stable, we left to pay the bill for all of the patients who were treated by the Hope Ministry team.\u00a0 <\/span>Gayle decided to return to the ICU to check the baby one more time before leaving the hospital.\u00a0 <\/span>Within a few minutes in the ICU ward, the hospital electrical system went out and the back up generator was delayed in bringing power back to the hospital.\u00a0 <\/span>In fact this happened twice.\u00a0 <\/span>Once again, Gayle and Jenny had to improvise in getting an oxygen tank operational for the baby with a creative cannula delivery system.\u00a0 <\/span>I wonder at the plans God has for this little baby boy as I looked into his uncomprehending beautiful eyes as he struggled so hard to live.\u00a0 <\/span>God led Gayle to this ICU room for a specific purpose, not once, but twice.\u00a0 <\/span>Thank you Lord for the opportunity and blessing of being in your Will and carrying out the blessing and compassion of your mission work.<\/p>\n
