Still In The Hospital...

I talked to the caretaker who translates for us today. I called because I had not heard if the girls were out of the hospital from the chicken pox yet. I was sure that by now they would be out - it has been about two weeks at least. But no - and I was told that they would most likely stay in the hospital for maybe two more weeks. WHAT?!? That is like a month in the hospital! I guess they feel that until the spots have completely healed - I guess no scabs or anything - that they need to keep them quarantined? I hope to get some more details on how they are and maybe ask the missionary we know from their region can go visit them. I just feel so sad for them and I can't even imagine the boredom. Please pray that God will comfort them and heal them very quickly. Katya has a birthday coming up very soon and I hope that she will not spend it in the hospital. I will update as soon as I know anything.
