Bacterial Meningitis

Is another big killer here. Kipkirui's story, however, served to remind me how much hope there is with medicine and prayer. His family actually cut off his uvula (the dangly thing at the back of your throat) at home because of an unremitting cough. It became infected and somehow led to meningitis. His prognosis seemed grim, as he presented unable to respond and global neurological deficits. There were many prayers, and God gave him a full recovery. His mother's guilt also was healed and she gave much praise to the Lord afterwards. These were pics during the middle and end of his healing. He didn't care much for the muzungu ('foreigner') doctors who were treating him as he awoke :)
