Today was a hard day. Keep praying for Tegegne, his fever rose really high today. Michael took him to the doctor again and they tested him for Malaria and bacteria in his system. The bacteria showed positive and the Malaria is still unknown. We think that Malaria is unlikely, seeing that he has been out of the area for this disease for about 4 months. They gave him another medicine, Bactrim, that is supposed to be better for his situation. All in all he is lethargic and has been sleeping all day. We just want to know that he will be okay.
Please pray for Tegegne.
***UPDATE***
Tegegne does not have Malaria. This is good news. We will need to take care of his fever, which was just 100.7 (low compared to these last few days), and the bacteria in his stomach, but no Malaria.
Keep praying.
