Thanks for your thoughts and prayers. I'm doing a lot better now. Haven't had a fever since lunch time today. Thankfully, I had a fairly mild case of malaria, albeit two kinds... Although, when the nurse tells you that you have 36 hours before it will become cereberal (if left untreated)... you take a breath and are thankful that you can get a test done and get the right meds (even if they have nauseating side-effects). There are so many around the world who wouldn't have been able to call up a nurse to come to their home and take a blood sample and then have someone take that sample in and have the results in an hour. There are so many who would just have to suffer without even a tylenol to ease the fever or pain and then quite possibly, die. So, I'm thankful.

Glad to hear you are feeling better. That is NO fun!

We just got back home, we were in Sentani for a whirlwind two days, sorry we didn't get a chance to see you!
