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 1 - July 12th

    I have desired to write about Jack and our child rearing experiences in general for a while and I frequently push it off and it just simply isn't a "right now" priority. Starting today, on what would have been Jack's 2nd Birthday, I am going to write daily (or try to) for the next 35 days in remembrance of the 35 days he lived on this earth. It will likely be unedited, imperfect, and intentionally raw - partially for the sake of time (I work, do school and we have a toddler in foster care ok?!) and partially because that is the theme of our story, imperfection (made perfect through Christ).  Today, I want to talk about birth. More specifically, medically complex birth. I get asked often if I had to have a mandatory c-section - thankfully no I did not. But I also did not expect to go into labor at 35 weeks and 5 days either and I am certain that is the worse option here. We came home from a week at the lake with Ike's family and as we are getting into bed Ike s

Day 2 - The NICU

 The NICU is a place you are extremely grateful for but you also dread its existence. You are so thankful that your fragile baby has around the clock expert care but you also hate that your baby has to be there without you. And then when you are there you feel awkward - you’re the mother but his caretaker is the nurse - you have to ask permission or for help to hold the baby (so many lines/drains so it’s not easy to pick them up). It’s also just heartbreaking to see the other babies that have been there for weeks or even months. Jack’s isolette/crib/bed was next to a baby born at 24 weeks (on April 8 actually) and it was July 12… he was still tiny with a young mom who we witnessed have hard conversations about her capacity to care for such a tiny fragile baby. The baby on the other side was born via c section because his organs were on the outside of his belly (omphalocele) and he cried and cried and cried. (We actually had a mom bring a baby with this same diagnosis to our house in Ug

Day 6 - ECMO

After all that surgery talk, this seems like an appropriate time to talk about ECMO.  ECMO stands for extracorporal membrane oxygenation - basically an exterior heart and lungs. Only a few hospitals in Virginia have trained teams and adequate machines to run ECMO. We learned a lot about it because there had to be someone in Jacks room 24 hours a day to monitor/run the machine. Like for bathroom breaks or lunch breaks - they had another trained ECMO person come and sit in the room while they took a break. We met almost every ECMO worker (a few didn’t do peds) and we talked with them a ton. They were present for many hard conversations with doctors, surgeons, nurses, chaplains, etc. They did things like get us lunch when the free lunch carts rolled by, bring us honey from home, update us on medical rounds that we missed. They felt like a second family. We wrote down almost all the nurses and ECMO techs Jack had - we wrote down 15 names for ECMO and I know we missed a few (like the night
