Mike - well we haven't been writing the last few days because things have been interesting! A couple of days ago, we were feeling great - the best we've felt so far actually! Then a couple hours later, out of nowhere, Becky and I both got violently ill...as in constant vomit, diarrhea, some fainting....we'd take a sip of lemonade to try to get some sugar into us and it would be out a second later....we just got worse and worse so the lady who runs the compound we are living in (Natalie) sent a car for the nurse and she did a late night call to our house and put us each on IV's. She came by the next morning and took samples, and we were told we both had a bacterial infection, probably from food poisoning, so our bodies were expelling everything even though we weren't eating or drinking. It could have been anything - but we are taking huge precautions now! We ended up being on IV's for 2 days in total, pumping glucose, antibiotics, and sugar water into us. It took 3 days for us to pull out of it, but it worked! Our bodies don't hate us anymore...AMEN!
Praise God, we are doing MUCH better now. The nurse was fantastic, and our bodies are running normally again. I made sure to ask Natalie all the right questions about clean needles, etc, and they only use the highest standards here on the compound. That was reassuring for sure! We are now cooking and cleaning and feeling more rested. However, we will still need a few days to fully recover from this week of constant sickness!
MOM'S & DAD'S / BROTHER'S & SISTER'S - you can rest well, we are feeling much better!! Hallelujah!
