*PRAY FOR OUR BOY*

Last night our 7 year old wild indian, Matthew, had a fever and headache at bed time. i put him to bed like normal but in the middle of the night heard him crying out in pain (VERY unusual for him). His head was in MAJOR pain. i gave him Panadol, thinking he must be coming down with tonsilitis like Mae had last week. This morning he was complaining of a sore neck and stomache ache. We made an appointment with the Dr. down in Madang. i just heard from Matt, who took Matthew to the Dr. and is still in town. He says the Doc wants to treat Matthew for malaria. They did a blood slide which was not conclusive because his fever is down at the moment. But there was blood in his urine (another symptom of malaria). We will be treating him for malaria and taking him back to the Dr. in a week. Please pray for Matthew, that he will recover quickly. Please pray for me as this is the one thing i have dreaded since we moved back to Madang.
