Medical Trip to Jo'burg

Ricky and the kids made it home safely on Monday evening. While in Johannesburg, South Africa for medical appointments, they did get to eat out at McDonald's and KFC (which we don't have in Zambia). Austin and I (Niki) were a little jealous... okay we were a lot jealous. But they did bring us some hamburgers back! They heated up nicely in the microwave and tasted just as good as if we were there. Thanks, Ricky!


Today, we received some of the test results back from Kelsey, and we are still waiting to hear from Coby's tests. Kelsey's tests showed a very high allergic tendency in general. The test for mixed inhalants was very high. Her grass screen was very high. She has a moderate allergy to egg whites, but not allergic to milk or egg yolks. And she has a moderate allergy to papaya. The medicine that Kelsey and Coby are taking on a daily basis is helping a great deal with the inhalant allergies and other things. We are limiting the egg whites for Kelsey as well as not giving her any papaya.


We will return to Jo'burg in March for our sectional meeting, and we will visit the pediatrician once more at that time. We appreciate everyone praying for Kelsey, Coby, and Ricky while they were away.
