Prayers needed for Carol

Please pray for Carol who is one of Hassan`s housemates here at Kasana. She is almost 2 and a half years and has recently been suffering with reoccuring chest infections and epileptic seizures.
Those of us involved with her care spent a long afternoon/evening at the local hospital today and were very grateful that we got to see a pediatrician from the UK who was very helpful and seemed to know what she was talking about :)
She has recommended (among other things,) that Carol has a gastrostomy tube fitted in the near future as she suspects that the chest infections are due to Carol aspirating her food which basically means that it is going down the wrong way; into her chest instead of the tummy.
Please pray with us that this latest infection clears up quickly, that her epilepsy medication works well and that we are able to find someone to supply us with a gastrostomy tube.
Please also pray for strength, energy and patience for those caring for her including her Father Stanley who is very good about visiting her regularly. Here is a photo of him feeding our precious Carol (or at least TRYING TO!)

  1. Oh dear Kate! I will pray for little Carol and for the Lord's provision for her needs and for you all as you trust Him and look for options and possibilities. Thanks for letting me know how to pray more specifically. More pictures, please!!!

  2. Sorry to hear about Carol. I will keep her in my prayers especially tomorrow at Church.

    This is the first time that I have used a blog. It is great to see the children and catch up with your news.

    I sent you some pictures I took when Andy and I spent the morning with you. Hope you got them.
