God has a sense of humor and His blessings come hidden in tragedy. We sometimes have to see a broken heart (heart problems) as a way of drawing closer to Him and when we do, we find there are blessings waiting.
Three months ago, Mandy experienced severe chest pains after a hard, hot day in the village. After being flown to Johannesburg South Africa by air ambulance, a cardiologist found that she had an artery that was 99% clogged and inserted two stents.
She's had a long recovery, and we flew back to Jo'burg for a follow up appointment on February 3. The doctor did a stress test and an ultrasound and said her heart is fine, but the only problem seems to be that her blood clots and the clots get caught in her heart. As long as she stays on the medicine (not found in Malawi) she should be fine. We stocked up on the meds and we're praying that there will be no problems with getting the insurance company to pay for them.
We decided to spend a few days resting and shopping (and visiting friends in Mozambique) for about 10 days and then flew back to Malawi on February 13. The break was the most needed break we've ever taken and we have seen the blessings in the tragedy.
