The Senior Medical Officer, whose name I now knew
to be Dr.
Moses Ohiosimuan had also come in early and had
been inside the ICU to see Kechi. He came to where we were and called me aside.
He told me that while they were giving Kechi the best care possible, they felt
that she would benefit from more specialized care and were thinking that, if we
agreed, they wanted to make arrangements to fly her out of the country
immediately to a South African hospital. He wanted to know if that was okay
with us. I said
yes at once, (thinking, are you kidding me?)“Of course it's okay with us.”
He said he would get back to me once he had
reported back to the MD of Shell that we were okay with the plan. He then said
I should call Mike.
As soon as Mike drove in, I gave him the news and
he rushed off to find Dr. Moses. I called Uloma at once and told her of the new
development. By this time she was in church and of course Kechi was the main
prayer point.
Mike came out looking stunned. I asked him if
everything was okay and he said that Dr. Moses was arranging for an air
ambulance to fly out from South Africa and pick Kechi and I up. The ambulance
will leave within the hour and should be in Nigeria by 8.00pm that night, and
we would leave as soon as they landed.
Mike said he told Dr. Moses that he should please
go ahead and make the arrangements and he would find a way to pay them back for
all the expenses.
That was when Dr. Moses told Mike that Shell was
taking full responsibility for all the expenses!
I fell on my knees and began to thank God and to
praise His Holy Name.

Shell!!! This was one confirmation for us all that everything is in God's hands. Everything. The hearts of kings. Oil companies. Governments. Presidents. Nations... all in His hands.
