Prayer is Appreciated!

Dear All Blog Readers,
You may or may not know that Brian has been diagnosed with Dengue Fever. This is a fairly common disease in these parts, as it is contracted by mosquito bites. Although it is common, it is not good. He was fighting this fever at home, but as of this morning, he has been admitted to the hospital. Dengue affects your white blood cell and platelet count. Brian's has gotten too low, and the doctors felt it best to have him somewhere where they could put him on an IV and monitor him constantly. He remains in fairly good spirits, but is physically very weak and exhausted. Many others at our school have had Dengue, but the disease has 4 different strands one can contract.

If you would, we would appreciate your prayers for us at this time. It is a very scary, unsettling time....especially going through this in a foreign land. We are currently awaiting word from our insurance as to their coverage; as of now, Brian is waiting in the ER at a hospital near our school. Please pray he can stay there, as it is close by for me to get to him. Also, pray for the Lord to strengthen both of us; I am having a hard time doing this on my own, and often get very sad at the circumstances. We will update as things progress.
