I planned to take a Kenya licensing test on Friday, 28 October. We decided to have the whole family go down on the flight with me on Thursday. Breanna made a doctors appointment for Thursday afternoon.

The Cessna Caravan that came up to Loki on Wednesday had a malfunctioning stall warning horn. Our maintenance staff felt strongly it should come down empty to Nairobi. However, Friday morning, they gave permission for me to go down, but not the rest of the family.

Mission Aviation Fellowship had room for the family on their Friday run from Loki to Nairobi, so Breanna and the children rode down on that flight. I took her to the doctor Saturday morning.

After recovering from a week of family-wide malaria, Breanna noticed that she was still feeling sluggish. That’s when we discovered Jack was here!

With all of the kids, Breanna had pregnancy induced hypertension, but late in the pregnancy. She borrowed my blood pressure cuff and found out her blood pressure was already elevated.

After trying four blood pressure cuffs, being visited by fellow missionaries with medical experience, and consulting with a missionary doc in Nairobi, we planned to get Breanna down to Nairobi as soon as possible to see a high risk OB-GYN. Our first big decision began rising in front of us: Should we move to Nairobi or return to Lokichoggio.
