Todd was admitted to St Josephs for malaria tonight.
After an all day stint at the ER, they admitted him and they are aggressively treating the malaria with quinine and antibiotics.
I just keep thinking about how much God cares for us.......

Todd was supposed to be in Darfur right now, giving a message to the AU and doing the work there, but God closed every door. Todd should not have been able to get on the plane home without the paper ticket that is required, but God opened that door for Todd. Revelation 3:6 says, "I know all the things you do, and I have opened a door for you that no one can shut. You have little strength, yet you obeyed my word and did not deny me." I know that through all of this Todd has been smack dab in the center of the will of God. So, whom can I fear? God is my refuge and strength, an ever present help in times of trouble.

We had a whole day together before he got sick. What a tremendous blessing. I am so thankful that he is here, close to me, where I can be with him and hear from the doctors and see that he is okay.

And, he is okay. He was initially very dehydrated, but they got fluids in him and brought down his temperature. They had the communicable disease specialist come in and see him. The nurses continually come into the room saying, 'you're the guy with malaria - I've never seen malaria.' He's like a side show.

Prayer requests: that Todd would tolerate the medications they are to give him, that he would lose no more weight, that he would be healed, that I can be with him, and that he would be a witness to all those around him!

Thanks all! Bless you. -Jeanne
