Dalitso has Malaria. Please pray for him
Savannah-Hope (pictured here with Peace) is a bit under the weather. She has been fighting a cough and respiratory infection for about a month and has completed two rounds of antibiotics. A couple days after she finishes the antibiotics, the infection seems to come back. She went to the doctor this morning and had a full work up. The praises are she tested negative for TB and pneumonia! But she has a double ear infection, respiratory infection and is anemic. She is taking round three of antibiotics along with ear drops, cough medicine and iron supplements. This sweet baby is not a good medicine taker, so please be in prayer for Thandie and the Nanny as they try to get her to swallow the medicine without her aspirating it into her already infected lungs. There is some concern that she may be allergic to the little yellow flowers that have exploded all over the campus at Good Samaritan. Please continue to pray for Savannah-Hope's immigration paperwork. We are hoping for a response by the end of next week. As soon as the paperwork is approved Crystal can go to Malawi to pick her up. One more prayer request....I am sending another box via DHL. Savannah needs some American sick baby items. Some of these items may not be approved for international shipping. Please pray that the shipping inspectors and customs look over these well hidden and disguised items and pass the box through without any delays, fees or drama. I sure hope this is the last box, as I am running out of organs to sell to pay for the shipping fees. The next set of items should be able to go over with Crystal.

I posted before about the Carrier's tie dying project here and here. I am posting about this project again because these pictures from the memory card are much better quality than the pictures I posted before. These are also the first pictures I have seen of the project in process. And this project was such a highlight for the children last year...I wanted to share it again. I love to see their smiling faces! I appreciate the Carrier's so much. It was not an easy task to bring 100+ t-shirts and dye kits, especially when you are only allowed 50 pounds in your suitcase. Their sacrifice was such a blessing to these sweet children.

The children are holding freeze its (freeze pops) and biscuits (cookies). My husband and I wanted to treat them to something before we left to come back home.
We want to thank you so much for your blog. We check it just about every day. It is especially nice for those of us who have been to Malawi to be able to see and hear what is happening over there. May God bless you for all that you do.
Do pray for us, because we are planning to go back in 2009 for at least 4 weeks, maybe longer. Pray that God will provide the finances for us to go, as well as bringing Ada to visit America. We are still working on trying to bring her here for a visit.
The Carriers
Oh Chrissie what great photos of the kids and Miss Savannah. Thanks for keeping us updated. Praying that Savannah gets better soon.
