I’m happy to update that Dr Mboi received the blood pressure machine I sent down - many thanks to Myra for taking it along with her. One of the medical staff at Three Strands did some research and found some quality blood pressure machines which will be taken down with a team in early January. I’m very grateful to be in a position where I am able to help in this way.
This ordeal reminds me that a key to having a positive attitude in life is to remember single events are part of a longer chain of events. Looking at the single event of this great man falling ill is very negative. However when you consider it as part of a greater chain of events it’s not a stretch to see this one negative circumstance has been the genesis of many positive outcomes.
A positive outcome for Dr Mboi is that he discovered he has high blood pressure before he had a stroke. My personal benefit is that I was able to connect with some previous friends from Africa and meet an additional friend, Mike Taylor. From that meeting I was able to send a BP machine to Dr Mboi so he can monitor his condition. Furthermore, additional BP machines will be going down with the group from Three Strands heading down in early January. These BP machines will benefit hundreds of people who would otherwise not have access to this equipment.
