The Cajigas Family Journey: youth camp and medical issues

August has been a fun and not fun month all at the same time. We have been fighting a few medical concerns with Precious. It it nothing serious but still is not fun for her or us and makes life busy. She has a couple of wounds that are having a hard time healing. one on her leg and the other on her back. At the same time she was having a persistent cough, sneezing, and at one point was having a little trouble breathing at night. We ended up taking her to two doctors in Tagbiliran for the cough and the skin doctor. We disovered that she seems to be allerrgic to dust and doctor also suspects that she fights environmentally induced asthma. With the right meds and care the cough we where able to rid in a week the wounds on the leg and back we are still fighting they are looking better but still not completely healed. soon after all this she started to have some issues with her right eye so a week after the first visit with the doctors we where back this time to see the skin doctor again and to visit an eye doctor. The antibiotic ointment that the skin doctor prescribed the first time she was allergic to so we discontinued that and are just using the generic that you friends send in the first aid boxes. That has helped and the wounds are healing instead of spreading. as for the eye her iris was inflammed so we have two drops. One to help tear production that is every two hours while awake. We live by an alarm with that one. The other drop is 3 times a day so not so bad. That has been our adventures so far. We have a follow up with the eye doctor the end of this month to make sure her eye is getting better.

This last weekend we had one of our overnight youth camps. We had about 150 young people come to worship play games and fellowship together. It gets loud somewhat crazy here at these times but such a blessing to see so many learning and growing in the faith and even some learning about Christ for the first time. Here are some pictures from the festivities.
