APRIL 12th

I was hit with something bad on Sunday night. I felt a little weird on Sunday afternoon after lunch, but just took a nap and pretty much life was good. We walked to church and I got to hold my favorite babe, Scott. Church didn’t happen because the power was out. As we were walking back, I felt a little light headed, but no big deal. I just thought maybe I needed to eat something. Boy, was I wrong! Now I regret what and that I ate at all! To make this short and painless for some of you…Think of Niagra Falls coming up and out for the whole night! Finally, after two phenergan shots, I passed out and woke up twelve hours later. Today, Thursday, I finally felt like doing something. Louisa did the right thing and tested me for malaria and it was negative. I knew I didn’t have it, but I felt like poo for 3 days. Oh well. It goes with the territory. All is well and getting back to the non-routine of Africa.

Deidre, thanks for the description of Niagara Falls. As you know, Mom & I visited the Falls last year, but your description really changes our memories. I am really looking forward to seeing you on May 16th and enjoying the sights -- Victoria Falls and a safari. We love you!! Mom & Dad
