We arrived home safely today - and we have visitors again! It is a family with 3 little kids who have come to see us and what God is doing here amongst the Agta. We also arrived home to a package for our home church! Thanks so much!!! (Pictures to come :) )
Well, Ben finished his antibiotics, and he is well now, but last Friday Zach's hand started bothering him. At first it looked like he had gotten an insect bite, but then his whole hand swelled up down to the wrist, and he was starting to have shooting pains up his arm. He also started running a fairly high fever so we took him into the ER nearby our meetings (2nd time there, 2 different sons). They put Zach on antibiotics for cellulitis. He has finished 3 full days of the antibiotics now, but he is STILL running a temp and feeling miserable. The swelling has come down quite a bit now, but his fingers are still very puffy. Also, it is starting to come to a head, and we are wondering if it is just a terrible boil. It is just in a terrible place between his finger joints so is incredibly painful. We are continuing with the antibiotics as well as soaking it several times a day. Please pray that the infection goes away soon and for wisdom for us to know how to take care of him. Please also pray that he (and us!) are able to sleep tonight - he has been very restless with the pain.

Praying for Zach that he will be completely well soon and that all will enjoy a good night's sleep.
I just tucked Annalise in. She also has a fever and didn't touch supper at all. We are praying that we will all be able to sleep as well. It has been a while since everyone has slept through the night.

Zach I pray your hand is healed quickly. It looks painful.
I am glad to hear that Ben is well.
Have a blessed 2009!
