Maria told me on Friday all was well and I was waiting on her blog post but it never came.
I sent a text message on Saturday and did not get a response, not so unusual as Marias Hotel was close to Greenhill’s one of the largest shopping centers in all of Manila. I heard Maria was planning to take some of the neediest kids shopping and assumed she was just busy.
On Sunday I did not hear a word either but that’s not uncommon as Sunday is Church all day and then with the time difference is assumed it was just, well normal.
On Monday, (today) I was met by a telefone recording from Star of Hope Philippines saying Maria is in the hospital and she is stable, apparently this Kansas infection took a turn for the worse in the warm Philippine air. She was having trouble swallowing and not breathing as she should.
Please pray for Maria and a fast recovery and as soon as she is better you can read about it here.
