Or tubes of any kind. Doctor explained that means if she has an UTI infection and the antibiotic pills they give her don't work she can't be treated in hospital with IV's. I am in shock and can't quit crying.. My heart is breaking. Mentally I know Mom will only get worse but stunned it has come to this so quickly.

It was decided to send the dresses for the girls and we're also sending shorts and t-shirts for the boys, flip flops for both along with underwear. I'm doing another workshop some time in the fall to do more dresses. This project is a collaboration of the churches in our area. Lots of work, but very satisfying. It makes me feel good to be able to help just a little.
