Matidi

I wish I had a picture of this little man Matidi. He is like a celebrity among my children; they all adore him. He just had his first birthday last week. "Matidi," pronounced Mah-tee-dee means "small" in Acholi. He weighs just over 15 pounds, an average size for a 3 month old. Unfortunately, Matidi has been sick consistently for the whole year of his life. This past week has been particularly difficult for him. He was admitted to the hospital on Monday, and is not improving. Fever continues to rage, and diarrhea won't subside. It seems he is only ever treated for symptoms, and never gone through testing to find WHY he is always so sick.

Tyler is considering driving him to a better hospital a few hours away. Please pray. His mom and dad, Concee and Bismark (one of Tyler's best buds), have spent the week in the hospital with their babe. They can use prayer too. Thank you!

This is Bismark, Matidi's daddy.
Hard working, Jesus lover.
