A few days ago, Trophi & I became really discouraged with Clement's condition. All the test results we've searched for have come back negative, as in there is nothing wrong with him, yet there is a serious problem.
We began sending him to Physio, after 2 doctor referral's and discussions as to how we move forward. He'd go to physio, but not move out of the bedroom to walk around and do exercises. Trophi would continue to encourage him to come out, yet he wouldn't saying he's in too much pain.
We had other family members come and encourage him to move out, yet regardless of who told him he needs to move around, he refused.
We'd pretty much given up on him, and made plans to send him back to the village and sort himself out, if he couldn't help himself from here.
Than yesterday he fell sick again. For me that was BAD timing. I'd planned for a long time to take Trophi out on his birthday for dinner, and though financially things have been so hard, we chose to go forward with it regardless. We needed to get out, and refresh our minds.
So, Clement fell sick yet again, so another brother; Gerald came and we sent him to the hospital with Clement after a friend of ours offered to help us out and drop them off, saving us some money on a special hire~ Praise the Lord for that!
We continued with our dinner date plans, headed out and went and had a nice evening. Clement was given more medicine and sent home.
When we reached, Trophi went to see how things were going and to find out what the Dr's had said.
This morning as we were just getting up, I heard Clement coming down the hallway. Next, he was going outside to walk! Amazing!
Later as Trophi & I were discussing on the 'odd-ity' of this mornings occurance, he told me how David, the oldest brother had called him this morning to encourage us that he's been on Prayer Mountain praying for Clement. The first thing that came to mind was this scripture;

James 5:16
16 Confess your trespasses[a] to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much
Truly the Lord had heard David's prayers! What an encouragement for Trophi & I. Praise the Lord, for He alone is worthy to be praised!
As we move forward, still with plans to send Clement back to the village on Saturday, please be praying for our whole family; David as he seeks the Lord on Clement's behalf, us as we continue to care for Clement, trying to encourage him and get him to eat well, Clement's wife & daughter Abigail back in the village, and Mum who also lives on the same land as Clement's family as they prepare for Clement to come back home after being with us for 2.5 months.
Please pray for Clement's healing, as he is very discouraged and even depressed with his situation. He's been asking us to just send him back to Tororo as soon as we are able, he was so discouraged, that he was afraid he'd die here. Yes, it's been that serious.
He needs serious prayer intercession, please, I plead with you today to interceed on his behalf as the Lord brings us to your remembrance.
Please pray for us, this has been a huge trial for our family, (T, me & G), it's been very stressful emotionally, and financially as it's fell on us to cater for all his medical needs, though we are ever thankful that the Lord blessed us with a few individuals who helped us in that area. It's been difficult for Trophi & I, as a couple, for when there is stress in the home, it can't not affect our marriage, though again, we thank the Lord for drawing us every more closer to him during this time. It's a season, but a long season, and Satan has been working harder than ever to see what he can destroy.
BUT...Praise the Lord, a 3-fold cord is not quickly broken! We've come back stronger. Stronger in faith, stronger in trust, stronger emotionally and more prepared, and stronger in eachother.
Thankyou for continuing to stand with us, we covet your prayers.
The Lord bless you, as you've blessed us.
