On the Mend

Well, it took a few days, but Eli is finally getting better.  We aren't sure what the deal was.  After two days of fever, we started antibiotics.  Although he still had a fever, we planned to go to church.  We hate to miss the morning services and classes in the evening.  However, Eli had different plans and began the morning with vomiting all over me.  Ok, change of plans.... we are staying home!

Eli didn't feel well and took two long naps that day.  When he woke up in the afternoon, we took him on a walk.  Being outside really soothes him.  On our way home, we ran into Pastor Zac.  He was on his way to our house to pray for Eli.  Which he did, right there on the road.  So sweet.  It was good to see him as we made plans to finish planning the camp and continue with classes next Sunday.

Fortunately, that evening, Eli seemed to improve.  The fever left and there was no more vomiting.  We don't know what he had, but are so happy it's gone.  After dealing with another mystery illness, it just reinforced our desire to get lab equipment.  George is a lab tech and can do all sorts of diagnostic tests... if he has the right equipment. 

So, we are seeing how to get some basic lab supplies to start with.  Then he can test not only Eli (and us) as needed, also test others for free as part of our ministry work.  We think it will cost about $1000 for a simple start up.  We'll keep you posted on how that goes.  

Thank you for praying!
