Ok now for what's happening with Jack. The dr. thought that even after the blood tests we had done in the states and here last year that perhaps it didn't show a parasite that is extra hearty. So he's treating him again for it but this time for 2 weeks instead of one. We'll see after that if he improves. The dr. thought that this could be what is the problem and said that maybe after all is said and done we can see if it wasn't a milk allergy at all but this pesky parasite. We're hopeful with it but not certain. Certainly confused by it all.
We also have more info on Owen. Turns out on top of the malaria he has swollen tonsils and a very red ear. So we're adding one more medicine that will help with that and it also (by chance) will help with the malaria AND it's liquid so the malaria medicine that is tablet can be crushed and added to it so he'll take it better and not in his bottle which he wouldn't take with the medicine in it. Did you follow that? Yeah me neither. Basically we still need to give him the malaria medicine but now this anitbiotic too and hopefully his appetite will improve and he'll start eating again.
Please, keep praying for us. This week has been the hardest of our lives and these months so trying. To know that you are praying for us is such an encouragement. Thanks for the notes too!

We are praying for you guys. Hang in there things are going to get better. By the way we met some NTM missionaries (retired) Bill & Gloria something. They are leaving Dec 15th to go to help with a guest house in Papua NG. We love you all!
I couldn't help but think of you as I read these verses today:
"When I said, "My foot is slipping," your love, O Lord, supported me. When anxiety was great within me, your consolation brought joy to my soul." Ps. 94:18-19 We and others here are praying.
praying for you...not fun at all!! Hope things improve for you...we love you!!
Still praying! Poor little guys. They are not having much fun and neither are you and Joel. Hang in there. I am praying for strength for you as you care for your family. The Lord knows what is going on, but it is hard for the rest of us to understand at this point. HE DOES ALL THINGS WELL, even when we don't understand.
Love,

Praying for you...having come through Benny's ordeal in the hospital with Dengue, we know how traumatic medical 'stuff' with your kids can be when you don't understand or trust the system, or when your mind is saying, "In America we..." Keep walking - one step at a time, eyes on the Lord. His strength is perfect. Love you, girl!
