When they returned from the safari Espy was running a fever so they took her to the doctor. She tested positive for malaria and giardia (parasites in her intestine). The doctor prescribed medication and told them to pray that she is not immune to it. If she is they will have to go to the hospital in Ethiopia and have her put on an IV. She also has an eye infection and high fever.
Alisha is asking that you would pray that they would find creative ways to get Espy to take her medication as she has refused to take any of them (the malaria meds are in pill form). They also ask for prayer as she will need to undergo more tests in Ethiopia before they can get her travel visa to come home. As you can imagine these tests are not fun to watch. :(
Alisha has also asked that you would pray for Kayla (who was going to be watching the boys) as she lost her father to a heart attack this morning.
Please keep them in your prayers over the next several days, I have asked Alisha to keep us posted as much as she is able, but the internet connection isn't the best in Rwanda.

praying so hard Alisha. So sorry Espy is sick :(
Working hard to get that water filtration system at the HOH.
We're still battling giardia here and Zeke has had 40 days of the meds. If you can get some pudding or applesauce and mix it in there, it will help. OR the best way is if they can get you the flagyl in pill form and then put it in food. Then they just swallow it since you don't really chew applesauce or pudding. Praying with you.
