Sick in Africa = No Fun!


Today I woke up feeling nauseous and it has lasted all day. I assume I picked up some stomach virus. Unfortunately, this has caused me to be stuck in bed all day. No fun at all. I was unable to go to the Haven and see the little babies today because A. I can barely function since I cannot keep any food down and B. I don’t want to risk getting the children sick. At times like this I need my momma! Thankfully Lace filled in as nurse and kept bringing me cold wet wash cloths and water. Sweet friend.
Since I was unable to do much today besides lay in bed under my mosquito net (I felt like I was being quarantined) I figured I would use this post to display some pictures from the past few days here in Africa.
