Dear All,
The day after I sent the newsletter telling you all the boys were healthy, Zach started having bad diarrhea that turned out to be from a stomach parasite-- his third bout of diarrhea this month. (Jesse says parasites tend to be more prevalent in dry season). This is not a big deal as long as it doesn't become a pattern like it did before, but as he is still a little squirt, I'd appreciate your prayers that he not lose weight.
More seriously, Micah had a positive test for malaria this morning. He has taken the first dose of a cure, but from past experience will likely have a very miserable next three days, and none of us will get much sleep the next few nights. Please pray that he recovers well with no complications and that his fever doesn't go too high.
Thank you,
Jesse, Joy, and boys
