Hello Mama,
Good morning says Kadijah! She just walked outside to exercise a bit. She is improving a lot. This is a better place and so far they medication are doing her good.Lab test is out but doctors are refusing to give it out until the last day in hospital but she was placed on this medication as you can see in the Picture which I guess meaning its Typhoid.
She has been given four of this little IV bottles since yesterday. Her doc, Faaludeen, said she will be alright soon but I guess we have three or four more days here before we are let to go. So far, she is ok and we all seem happy with that. I think prayers from you guys and all over the globe did her the greatest good. I feel it is the prayers that turned her around.
Please keep the prayers coming in.
How are you and Fr. Seraphim doing? How is the trip so far? Give our love to that great smiling Archbishop of ours!

Remembering Kadijah’s smiling face during our Kamasorie Trip in March wearing this tee shirt.

I miss you and wishing you well.

Love,

Son.

Posted on June 15, 2010 by vicki

Kadijah received visitors last night before going to bed on Monday night.
Lucy cautiously watches the IV drip in Kadijah and
Paul (James elder brother, a pastor), prays with Kadijah. Weakened but trying to cope well, Kadijah is fighting this illness.

Received the following email with photos attached this morning:

Hello Mama,

Its morning here and Kadijah still on the second IV. What a long night!

I had to talk and talk before I could convince the nurses to allow me to sleep here. I dare not leave her alone.
We were up all night, sleeping on a chair five minutes and then off just like that. Crazy, but ok. I hope this ends quick and she gets back home.
I just washed her up and dressed her well.
I gave her a plate of Quaker oats
and she ate well.
She refused to drink fearing throw ups.
Now she is back in bed with the IV on
which I guess will be finished in three hours time.
Seeing the doc this morning again, so please pray.
Thanks for all.

Son.

Thank you for your continued prayers, good wishes, thoughts and deeds. Its been a rough few days for all of us as we pray Kadijah through this discomforting time.

This ordeal has been most difficult on the Mansaray family. Roo quietly watches and prays for his mom as she lay motionless in the newest hospital setting, transferred this morning from the previous medical facility.
The drip continues to push fluids through her, pushing out the bad medicine received from previous doctor and

keeping her hydrated as the malaria continues to ravish her body.
As the day ticks by, hour by hour, Kadijah has improved – not cured, by any means, but improved from the horrors of the previous days’ trauma.
Slowly she awakes from the drug induced and malaria stupor, this is a promising sign of slight recovery. I can’t help but smile as I see she is wearing my crazy “Cheese Monster” tee shirt that I left behind for her while in Sierra Leone.
Weak and groggy she eventually is able to sit up for a few minutes – progress! Keep the prayers flowing….. Good night! We’ll update again tomorrow… Thanks for being part of the Nazareth House Family.

Keep Praying, waiting on new lab results…

Posted on June 14, 2010 by vicki

Please continue your prayers for our staff in Sierra Leone. As we, here in America, Europe and other areas of the world are offering our prayers, our Nazareth House Family & Friends in Freetown are all rallying around to help, in whatever way they can in Freetown. A true example of the blended family spirit of Nazareth House Apostolate – we all do what we can to help each other (borders and differences do not stop us).

Kadijah was not awake most of the night, as James continued “on watch”. When Kadijah’s mom came in to be with her, James went out try and catch some sleep in a car – only to have a thief disturb him, trying to enter the car to help himself to James’ belongings.
Kadijah awoke this morning and began vomiting. She was transferred to another hospital in which James described as “cleaner and better” with attentive medical staff. We are hoping that this new place will see her through to regain her health. Until we know what is going on… we pray. Thank you all for your concern and love.
Both James and Kadijah appreciate you so much and are thankful that you are a part of Nazareth House Apostolate. God Bless you all.
We look forward to Kadijah smiling and returning to her beautiful, active and fun-loving self.
