One thing... or two

One fantastic thing is Ben slept peacefully through the night, with no sugar crashes.  One frustrating thing is that the doctors gave him his first injection of a mixed rapid/slow insulin at 8:30 last night and not one person set foot in the room for the next 10 hours.  Thankfully, we can check on him with our own glucose meter.  Now his glucose level is high again, climbing throughout the night.  I went out and showed an attendant about an hour ago.  She says that we’ll treat him “by 7.”  If there is one thing we have learned in Africa, it is that 7 could mean any time before noon.  If there is one thing we’ve learned in this hospital experience, it is that we have to be very assertive to get care.  If there is one important thing we have EVER learned, it is that our God is SUFFICIENT.  We aren’t worried, but concerned and motivated to be the squeaky wheel.  I will try to get a good word out later.  Thanks for praying with us!
