Quick Update...

(Leah) - I hope that everyone is enjoying the pictures that we were finally able to upload. Betty told us that if we compressed the photos more and then e-mailed them to someone it would be faster. So, thanks, Deanna!!!
I have still been feeling kind of yucky. My stomach just doesn't feel right. I have been drinking lots of Sprite and eating crackers (back to the "Bland Diet" I go). Today, I went into town with Amy, Betty, and Moses and ate a little bit of chicken and chips...a LITTLE BIT. It almost wasn't worth buying because I hardly touched it. Please pray that I feel better real soon because I'm getting tired of tummy problems as you can imagine!
This morning, we awoke and did our normal routine of slowly getting ready. I was exhausted because I had baby duty with Moses and couldn't go to sleep at first and then being awakened every few hours...tiring indeed! I know you Mom's are laughing now because you know what I'm feeling. Don't worry...this doesn't deter me in the least of fulfilling one of God's callings on my life to become a mother myself one day. : )
Anyway, Moses was feeling hot so we took his temperature...101.3F. We knew that wasn't good! Amy was planning on going into town anyway to meet with Damali, so Betty and I rode along to take Moses to the clinic. They tested him for malaria which came back negative, so then the doctor said that he had septicemia...I think that means infection in the blood?? (a little help from the nurses out there is appreciated). They were going to give him an IV, but we chose to give him liquid medicine instead. So, we marched out of the clinic with antibiotics and something to supposedly bring his fever down although we aren't sure it works. We ended up giving him a few drops of the Children's Ibuprofin we brought. Please pray that he gets better. We took his temperature again tonight and it was 99.7F which is much better! Amy has baby duty with him tonight, so she will keep a close eye on him.
One of Betty's friends, Mercy, is here spending the night with us tonight. She and Betty go to University together and are on the same dance team. They were showing us some of their moves today and let me tell you they are GOOD!! Betty was trying to each Amy and me some choreography to a song...it's coming along but it isn't pretty : )
We are about to head to bed...all five babies in our room tonight with four people=one interesting night ahead of us. Thanks for everything!!! Tomorrow we are taking 4 of the babies into town to get immunized. I heard we are getting an early start (8:00am) because it may take awhile. Better hurry up and bathe and get to bed. Goodnight from Uganda!!
Oh, and a little note to my family. I would LOVE to talk with everyone (Dad included) on Saturday if you are home. I certainly hope you are : ) LOVE YOU ALL!!!
