Thandie states that both Tamandani-Joy and Sidala-Faith are weak and very ill. However, she is starting to see some improvements. Sidala-Faith is still suffering the effects of Malaria and is not a fan of her quinine treatment. She puts up quite a fight when it is time for her medication. She has no appetite and has to be hand fed.
Tamandani-Joy is suffering from severe night sweats. She will be tested for Tuberculosis in the next couple of days. Both girls are scheduled to have a thorough medical exam on Saturday 1/24/09.
The girls are responding to the staff’s questions by nodding and shaking their heads but are still refusing to speak. Both girls are speaking fluently and intelligibly to each other.Today Joy was heard telling Faith “look the water is coming from up! How is the water coming from up? It’s not coming from down”. She has never seen a water faucet before and is intrigued by the water coming out from “up”. So cute!Today Thandie showed the girls a squishy ball that was left behind by Savannah-Hope. You squeeze the air out of the ball and when it fills back up, it makes squeaky noises. Both girls enjoyed watching the ball deflate and inflate and listened for the noises. Tamandani-Joy laughed out loud. This was her first laugh! Thandie is pleased with the care the nannies are providing to Tamandani-Joy and Sidala-Faith. We are very thankful to the Lord for providing the right ladies for this delicate and special job.
Thank you for your prayers, especially during these first couple of critical weeks of their transition.
