Thai Fever: Round One

Well, you know it had to be coming. You don't go to a foreign country without getting sick in some kind of way. But I didn't really expect this. Thursday, I started to feel a little bad. I woke up that morning with a cold, again, didn't really see that coming. We went on with the day, and I just kept getting more and more tired and the cold symptoms kept getting worse. We rode over to the church to try and upload some pics and videos, but I couldn't last long, I was so tired. A few of our friends from church came over to see our place, and so we stayed up until about 9:00pm. I was exhausted. So I laid down on the couch and we tried to watch some TV. Leah felt my head and said I was burning up. So we took my temperature... 102! Ouch. So off went the TV and into bed I went.

It was a long night fighting the fever. Leah stayed right there, making sure I didn't cover up too much and kept the cold air on the outside and the water on the inside! I've never drunk so much water in my LIFE! The next day, we kept taking the temperature and it stayed around 101-102. So it was off to the Thai hospital. It was a great experience, I was in and out in 30 minutes and had seen the doctor and received medication all for about $10.00! Wow! So all yesterday I just took it easy and kept on the meds. Today the fever was down to about 99, and I felt good enough to come over and update everyone! Praise the Lord. We were worried it might be this or that, especially the Dengue Fever which can last for two weeks. The doctor said he thinks it is just a flu that developed from the cold. I have been doing much better since and am regaining more and more strength every day!

Thank you all for praying and remembering me! God has been so good to us here.
