Malaria

Just a quick note to ask you to pray.  Megan had malaria last weekend.  She is over it now.  Titus & I both tested positive for it last night.  We had a rough night.  Caralina tested positive for it today.  Amy isn’t feeling well, but hasn’t run a fever yet.  She is starting the treatment for malaria.  We should know by tonight if that is really what she has.

On top of that, we got a phone call at 2:30 a.m. last night.  David Malisi, our tailor, had an emergency with his son Matthew.  Matthew was having seizures that wouldn’t stop – his whole body was stiff.  The condition could possibly have been meningitis or tetanus, both of which are very dangerous.  David didn’t know that I had malaria, so we called Claudia and she and Amy went together to check on Matthew.  Amy eventually stayed at Claudia’s house with her girls while Claudia took Matthew and the mother to Buikwe Hospital.  Matthew has been admitted, but we don’t yet know his condition.
