Here's the "situation report"
Lee went back to the doctor today and it is confirmed that he has
dengue fever. His platelet count and white blood cell count is down.
Lee will have yet another blood test run tomorrow, not because of the
dengue - but because of what dengue has done to his blood level.
Today, though his white blood cells were low, were the same as they
were 2 days ago - his platelets were lower today then they were two
days ago.
Dengue generally takes 7-10 days to run it's course - that's great
news, as today is day 6. Today, his fever is much much better.
I was diagnosed with amoebas and an intestinal infection. Last night
I took the pills that should kill all amoebas within 24 hours - and
this morning I started taking Cipro- an antibiotic. Essentinally, the meds killed
all bacteria in me - I took a "good bacteria" pill to hopefully feel
better soon. I'm still having a lot of pain and nausea.
With that being said - we covet your prayers. We know we have asked
you all to pray for us a lot in the last week, thank you - thank you
for continuing to stand with us in this way.
We love ya'll,
Staci & Lee

God Bless you both. I pray that it is a quick recovery and that you both are back to your normalselves as quickly as possible. Know that you are being prayed for.
I know on most levels this is irrelavant, but is this almost like a missionary "rite of passage?"
On some levels yeah, although dengue has been in Guatemala for decades, Lee is the first case for Wendy (she's been here 20 years) - but amoebas, yeah, everyone gets them at one point or another
I love you guys and know that i am praying for you both! Lee get some rest! You too Staci. Hope yall are feeling better!
Love,
Davy
Glad the both of you are feeling better.
