Three special people born on Feb. 4th:
1. Rachel Kay Ayikoru Bartels: Feb. 4th, 2009
2. Angella Namata Noll; our niece; my sister adopted Angella from Uganda Dec. 2010--Angella didn't have a birth date on record but was a similar age to Rachel so Sarah picked Feb. 4, 2009
3. Baby Noll (more names to come!); Dorothy's first son; Feb 4, 2012
We thank God for the safe delivery of Baby Noll who was born last night via c-section at a local hospital. Our neighbor, Jean Chamberlain Froes (a ObGyn from Canada) runs a program called "Save the Mothers"at UCU (look it up online for more info). She has assisted in the birth of both our daughters and also aided in Dorothy's daughter (Jean, namesake) and last night came in time to discover the cord which was blocking the head from descending. She made the decision with the doctor on hand to do a c-section which they did successfully last night at 9pm. I'm very grateful for the medical neighbors we have here in Uganda who attend to the physical well-being of so many of us! Am praying for all the young children around us that if any of them have interests or gifts to be doctors, they have the support they need to do such a noble vocation.
