Lately

Here are some photos of life lately since we have been back in Uganda for the last 2 weeks - after going home for a quick trip to celebrate the wedding of friends, Ben and Kate. 
A burial we attended last Monday for the sister of Ike's friend - this was our first time attending a burial here.
 Crossing a river to get to the burial...
 With about 500+ Ugandans

 Some of our younger friends with their new backpacks (provided by my sweet friend in the US) - a few of them are returning to school after not being able to attend for a few terms due to financial lack.

 A mom with her twin 10 month olds - both walking quite well for their age, the girl on the right is enrolled in the nutrition program, the boy on the left is not (can you tell the size difference in the cheeks?)
 Giving school hair cuts... the kids asked for money to go get haircuits and I happily said I'll give you one myself! It's hard to mess up a shaving a head right? (I didn't leave the mohawk if you were wondering)

 Ike and I finished up literacy testing at a nearby school that will be used for control data - Ike is above with Clovis and a student. Our teammates coordinated with Read for Life in Gulu and funded a teacher training to gain skills in teaching English. Another training will occur in January for more schools/teachers and this school will be included then.

This week Ike employed a few friends to clean and paint the church on/near the mission - it is not finished yet (they're adding a black "skirt") but it looks AMAZING already! 
Today they are having pork for lunch to celebrate their progress (and just for fun).

Day 32 - How grief changed me

 I obviously missed quite a few days - I took about 2 weeks off - turns out blogging about heavy stuff is draining and I probably bit off more than I could chew by aiming to do 35 posts.  I have been reflecting on how grief has changed me over the last two years.  In many ways, I am not the same person I was when 2021 began. Grief has changed my thought life, my friendships, my work.  First - My world got tiny. I often felt myself looking inward (at my usually crappy situation) and feeling a lot of pity, sadness, anger and occasional shame. In those seasons, it’s so hard for me to be an engaged friend. Essentially grief has made me selfish. When you are going through so much stuff, you don’t have capacity to extend yourself to be there for your people. There’s nothing wrong with that - that’s the reality of grief: other people are checking on you for a long time - for good reason. But that’s hard for me- I wasn’t built to be needy, to mope or even be able to answer “...

Day 19 - Joy in the In Between

That phrase makes me roll my eyes sometimes. Joy in the in between. It feels like a quick way to brush off the troubles you are living amidst and force yourself to just "be happy" instead.  But, I think I am missing some of the sentiment of the phrase when I let my jaded heart get in the way.  When I look back at pictures from the days between Jack's second surgery and when his soul left this earth, I do see joy. I see the faces of my family members who came to see him for the first time. Like my grandparents meeting their first great grandchild. My friends coming to swoon over him even with all of his tubes and unable to hold him. I see photos of us with Jack, holding his hand, enjoying every moment we had with him knowing it was a gift, a miracle.  There was pain and sorrow during those days, of course. But essentially joy in the in between is life. We are living right now in the "not yet." We live among pain and sorrow daily (often not as grave in severity...

Day 16 - Surgery day #2

I have already shared that Jack had heart surgery on his fifth day of life, then was unable to come off of ECMO (heart and lung machine) a few days later, then palliative care was offered to us. In the days that followed that we were mostly just waiting. Waiting to see what the doctors were going to decide and do, waiting for Jack’s heart to show any signs of improvement that could mean he would tolerate coming off ECMO. At this point he was still fluid overloaded and making plenty of urine so he was losing fluid everyday, looking more and more like a baby and less like a sumo wrestler.   The surgeons didn’t really have an answer as to why his heart couldn’t pump on its own. They never said the words “we should have done the other surgery” because all of the measurements of his heart told them they should not have done the full blown HLHS surgery. But essentially that’s what we assume should have been done. They discussed Jack’s case in grand rounds at length. They decided to take ...
