Hello!  Please lift us up in prayer!

We are to fly on this coming Tuesday the 21st.  We are now in Port au Prince at a Mennonite Mission Guest House.  Home came off the shelf about a week ago when we left the mountains and we have been dealing with some pretty nasty sicknesses so we are very ready to get home.  Please, please pray for healing for our weary bodies.  There are a lot of things going around right now.  Eugene has the sickness I had 2 weeks ago with Diarrhea and vomiting that ended in me needing two IV bags of rehydration fluid.  He is very tired of running to the bathroom and physically weak.  This sickness resembles cholera but is not as serious and only seems to last a few days.  I am concerned about the little ones getting it.  Originally we thought this was from drinking contaminated water but now are leaning towards it being a virus.  With how hard this is for adults and the dehydration factor it could be very serious for small children and our baby. On the risk of sounding like whining I will list our other health issues so you can pray specifically.  We've been dealing with mouth sores, earaches, a head cold(that has resolved now, praise the Lord!) and now two of our children we just found out have chicken pox or something very similar....one nurse thought it was chicken pox. Then we talked to a doctor that said it wasn't... So who knows..... we thought it was mosquito bites on Theodore and heat rash on Tabitha, but now know why some of them have a water bubble head.  Wow!  Someone just told us they were not allowed to fly with their son that had chicken pocks even though he was over the contagious part.  Lord, please have mercy and heal us!  We are out of a home and depending on others at this point so though we are at a very comfortable guest house would really like to be able to fly home as planned.  We really appreciate your prayers to this end.  We are looking forward to seeming many of you soon!

With love, Kara for the Waldners
