3/5 of Family to Jo'burg

Last Saturday, Coby broke out with a rash, followed by Kelsey on Sunday morning. We immediately began to think about the 3 other times Kelsey has broken out in the same rash. Face reddens, face so swollen unrecognizable, tiny red bumps on arms and legs, and so on. As we questioned, the idea of a mango allergy seemed to be our answer. Both Coby and Kelsey had eaten mangoes on Friday by peeling them with their teeth (well, that's the way you eat a mango). The idea has been brought to our attention before, but without allergy testing, we have dismissed it. This time we thought it best to get a doctors opinion, in fact, 2 doctors' opinions. The 1st doctor said it was flea bites. The 2nd doctor says its chicken pox. Neither said mango allergy. So, it was decided that we need more answers as to why our children, or some of them, keep breaking out with a rash every few weeks. The decision was made to send Coby and Kelsey to Johannesburg, South Africa to consult with a pediatrician. Ricky will accompany them on the trip as Austin and I stay in Lusaka and hold down the Guest House. We would appreciate your prayers during this time, as we can clearly see how Satan is trying his best to attack us. He doesn't want us in Zambia spreading God's Word, but he will not win! We are encouraged that the doctors in Jo'burg will figure out this rash mystery. Keep praying!!!
