Dear Prayer Warriors,
\nThis week we have been dealing with a sickness that hit Steve starting very early Sunday morning.\u00c2\u00a0 He had chills and high fever, followed by vomiting, and the fever stayed very high with him alternately sweating and having chills.\u00c2\u00a0 Finally by Monday night, his fever was at 104 Fahrenheit.\u00c2\u00a0 It has been the worst sickness I have ever seen Steve\u00c2\u00a0go through.\u00c2\u00a0 Tuesday we took him to the hospital where he had blood tests, an IV, and the doctor thinks he has an infection in his intestines.\u00c2\u00a0 Last night, we noticed that his left leg was red and very warm to the touch, starting at his foot up to the middle of his calf.\u00c2\u00a0 So today we went to a clinic where he was given more IV with an anti-biotic and told to take a\u00c2\u00a0double dose of the antibiotic medicine that the hospital had given him.\u00c2\u00a0 The good thing is that he has been able to eat a little and drink and keep it in him as well as his medicine.\u00c2\u00a0 But his leg is very painful and it is hard for him to walk on it.\u00c2\u00a0 We have to go back to the local clinic tomorrow and the hospital on Friday.\u00c2\u00a0 So please pray that the medicine would be effective against the infection, for wisdom for the doctors, and for Steve to get well soon!<\/p>\n
We have been very thankful to have Andy still with us as he has taken care of Josh for me while I took Steve to the hospitals!\u00c2\u00a0 Ben and Melissa started school on Monday, the 28th of August so they haven’t been around\u00c2\u00a0much to help out.\u00c2\u00a0 Please pray for Andy, too, as he goes back to America on Sept. 5 and starts school on Sept. 6. Thank you so much for your prayers.\u00c2\u00a0 We know that the Lord is taking care of us through this time.<\/p>\n
In\u00c2\u00a0His love,
\nRochelle<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
