Second Malaria - Over and Out

Praise God I am doing much better today. This round with malaria wasn't as bad as the last one. I only had three days of vomiting, headache and fever instead of five. Plus this time I was able to sleep. I think the key was catching it early and starting the IV medication sooner. On Sunday night we switched from the IV back to the pills. I was given a medication to prevent vomiting and boy was that powerful! It knocked me out! I slept all night Sunday and all day on Monday. Fortunately it worked and I have been able to keep the pills down as well as eat and drink. Today I am resuming my duties and other than being really tired, I feel great. Thank you so much for your prayers!
