Update from last blog:

I just got off the phone with William and he informed me that the latest info is that Joshua is in a coma at the Kampala Intl Hospital after overdosing on his medicine and any other medicine he could find in the Laku’s house. Apparently he went in to his parents room and found his epilepsy medication and proceeded to take the entire contents of the almost full bottle. Then he went throughout the house finding more medicine and taking all of those as well. When Eunice realized what he had done, she rushed him to the hospital, but he had already lost consciousness and gone into a coma.

Joshua was ejected from Butabiga Mental Care Facility because he tried to climb the fence to “go home”. In the process, he only got a few cuts and scrapes.

The doctors said that if he is to return to Butabiga, he’ll be in a different ward with more serious cases than the ward he was placed in this time and require that he stay for a minimum of 4 months for treatment.

The Lakus can’t afford that stay if Joshua pulls through this coma, so I just wanted to say thank you to all of you who have contributed so generously. William expressed to me that the knowledge of having God providing for Joshua’s medical expenses through your generosity gives him one less thing to worry about as his father.

Thank you. Please continue to pray with us.
