Perseverance is key!

Today we woke up at 8 a.m. and began the brutal lice extermination process! ha!
We took all the rest of the beds, sheets, blankets, dirty clothes, brushes, barretts, combs, pillows, stuffed animals, you name it, we tooke it. We also took the chairs in the kitchen that had cloth on them. And then between 10 a.m. and 11 a.m. we began the process of shampooing and combing each child individually. We were in house 2 for almost 8 hours going through hair! Not one of them walked away without having had bugs in their hair. Except the one house mom! The least amount of bugs was like 5 and the most was like hundreds! No exaggeration, that's probably an understatement! It was insane and extremely time consuming.
Each kid would pick out their one outfit of clothing that had been quarantined for 72 hours and their towel that we had boiled in hot water, and we shampooed, combed, and then they gave us their dirty clothes and towels that were most likely infested.
The cookies were a success so that was exciting =]
There are really no words to express how ridiculous crazy the lice infestation was in the one house. They just didn't catch it fast enough or eliminate it quick enough and it spread like wildfire! But we are taking care of it, that's for sure! No mas!
The other house took maybe two hours, with the same amount of kids, more boys though so less hair, but they probably had 5 lice total out of the entire group of kids and house mom's! So that made us really happy. We finally were finished some time between 7-8 p.m. and then we shampooed ourselves and made sure that we had not gotten any lice from the kids!
We persevered and with pretty good attitudes. I think we all had our moments when we wanted to crash and burn rather than face another lice. But we pressed on, with the strength of the Lord and we accomplished our goal.
We intend on spraying the kids with vinegar water every day until their 7 days are up and combing their hair for more live lice that survived the shampooing process. We really want to eliminate them so that we can think and concentrate on something other than lice.
Anyways, I am so tired I am like falling asleep sitting here. It is time for rest.
Please pray for continued perseverance and elimination of lice. Thanks.
Hope all is going wonderful for you and that you are staying blessed! Sending my love!
