Feeling the effects of illness…

convuls_03 Feeling the effects of a new environment. Over the past two weeks we’ve been battling fevers, cramps, diarrhea, appetite loss, and fatigue. Griffin started out the week with cramps, diarrhea and fever, Mason has been battling 103 temps for the last two days along with stomach cramps that have brought tears. Jen and I also have the same symptoms without the fever. Everyone here is perplexed as to what the cause could be. Mason tested negative today for malaria. Praise God! We started treating ourselves for amebic dysentery and Guardia today. We’ve super cleaned all the water containers and filters to hopefully circumvent any additional contamination. Our water here is straight from the mountain springs and not treated or filtered so there is a potential for all sorts of contaminates. We have a filter that we use for drinking water but none for the tap. Praying that our issues are from the water and not more serious. Please consider joining us as we ask God to reveal the source and treatment or that He will miraculously heal our family. We’ve learned some great lessons through this. Our awareness to possible contamination is heightened, and we’ve had the opportunity to experience the wonderful, compassionate, and caring hearts of everyone here who have so generously gone out of their way to help us.  What a tremendous blessing to continue to be the recipient of God’s love shown through his people.
