Prayer for Rebecca

Please pray for Rebecca, pictured above with her grandson. She became very sick during the night and came to Bible Study this morning in much pain. We brought her to the hospital and they have diagnosed her with cholera. Since it is so contagious, the hospital has a 'cholera treatment centre' set up outside of the actual hospital where the patients eat, sleep and are treated in canvas tents, no visitors allowed.

Cholera can kill within hours if left untreated and so we are very thankful that Rebecca got to the hospital when she did. However, she is already quite a frail woman and so we are worried. We are also praying that it has not already spread to the rest of her family members, especially her young grandson.

We are praying for Rebecca....remembering her with fond thoughts. God blessed her with a great sense of humour, we remember. May He heal her of cholera.
