Pray for Arafat and Pam

From Dr. Brenda:

I am now back in the U.S. – Pam Fox returned to Uganda and I was able to leave Arafat in her capable hands. She is an incredible care-giver, with a dedicated servant’s heart. I have been speaking with her by phone almost daily to get updates on Arafat and it continues to be “touch and go.” Some days it seems he is improving; other days we are sure he is not going to make it. We are learning so much about trusting God, because there is just no other way to get through the days. He has become a part of us and a part of our lives. Yesterday, Pam took him back to the hospital in Kampala, it was for a follow-up visit with the surgeon (even though we know at this point he cannot have another surgery) – but he has been vomiting quite frequently. The surgeon wanted to keep him overnight to get some x-rays and blood work and to replace his central intravenous line, (which we use to give him nutrition and antibiotics.) So he will be in the hospital at least overnight. We are considering the possibility of bringing him to the states, but this is a long-shot, given his fragile condition and all the red tape that would be required. I know God can heal him no matter where he is. So today I ask for prayers for wisdom as we continue to make decisions about his care; I ask for you to pray for Pam, for her continued strength, both physical and spiritual. She is caring for Arafat around the clock, with very little relief. She needs our intercession before our King.
