Sept. 15, 2007


Ferd now had 2 patients. Sean and I were both so sick. I began to improve once I rested some, but Sean was still so weak and the fever would not go away. We were now on day 4 of straight fever. Dengue runs about 7 days, so we were only half way through it, not knowing how it would progress.
On Sean's hallway, there were 4 children with Dengue. One little boy that was beside Sean was getting worse and worse. With Dengue, you just dont know what it will do. Some kids bounce back quickly, others cant fight it and die. There are nearly 10 differnet types of Dengue Fever, the kind that causes internal bleeding is nearly always deadly. The little boy beside Sean had that. We were just praying and begging God to not allow Sean to start bleeding too.
Thank the Lord, my parents arrived at midnight. Just having them here gave me a hope and a comfort that I so desperately needed.
