Roto-Virus
June 28th, 2008 by Davona
I was talking to a missionary friend today, who is on leave from Africa. Her baby got a roto-virus when they were in West Africa a couple years ago and nearly died. Apparently in the States they now have a vaccine (oral) for it, but the medical people told her that it can attach to dust molecules and be inhaled. It is very dangerous for small babies. All the disinfecting of bottles, equipment and changing areas will not stop it. It sounds very much like what we had at the Home. Same symptoms and terrible results.
Illness in babies and small children has always been such a worry to me over the years–so why in the world am I running a Baby Home?! Because God has asked me to do this. What a small thing to do for a God who gave His all for me! Satan tries to discourage, but God is stronger than anything. I just have to continue to trust in Him and follow His leading.
