Early Morning Update

Latest update: very little.

The cultures came back with no growth. Meaning that they aren't negative -- which take up to a week before they are called such (or show growth) -- but didn't tell anybody anything either.

TJ is running a low grade temp, but nothing huge and is very tired.

I am going to bed (finally) but first, prayer points for the day:

  • Pray that the cultures would start growing, e.g., come back with something. We really want to know what TJ has. If it is not MRSA again, "it is like getting struck by lightening twice in a year." (MA)
  • Still, and always, pray for complete healing of TJ and his body and mind. That he would be fully restored by the time he flies home again.

Hi [TJ] and [MA]
My name is [Tony F.] and I came on board with [TJ's organzation] in Sept. with my wife Holly and our children. We are working in Africa and are home on home assignment while still traveling between the US and Africa to conduct trainings in Community Health Evangelism. Though we have never met please know that you are in our prayers. I just returned from Uganda two weeks ago after being hospitalized for 8 days with systemic MSRA. I can understand your situation very well and trust that God is giving you the strength to regain your health. Praise God that you have a good hospital and staff. I am sure that [TC] is also on top of things from this side of the pond. He was a real blessing for me as I am sure that he is for you. Please let me know how our family can pray for you.

God Bless,
Tony

Dear Mr. [TJ],
Here's my word for you today.

"Never, never, in nothing great or small, large or petty, never give in except to convictions of honour and good sense. Never yield to force; never yield to the apparently overwhelming might of the enemy." Winston Churchill

Never give up! Never, never, never, never.....

You will get up. You will stand firm. You will lead and guide His people. You will write with excellence. Because its what you were made to do. And, because your great at it.

[MA]-thank you for teaching the world how to pray boldly. You are awesome.

We love you,
The Prince Fam
