Day 6 - Unusual Finish

Of the 15 campaigns I have been on this day was most unusual. We treated more North Americans than Latin Americans. Yesterday, when we closed the clinic we had 19 people that we asked to come back today. Little did we know at the time that those would be the only ones to be treated today.

On Tuesday one of our young folks from Costa Rica came down with something-fever, diarrhea, vomiting, chills. By yesterday morning we had 10 of our team down. As of today it is 26. Most are on the rebound, but some are not making much progress. I think they will make progress now that they have been started on antibiotics.

We decided last night that we would go to the site, treat those we promised and clean things up. That is what we did today, hence 19 treated.

This afternoon the minister of health for El Salvador called. She wanted to send her team out to investigate a potential epidemic. Yow! I have never been in one of those.

About 6 health department folks came out to interview those that are sick, including our cooks and the hotel cooks. Interestingly enough none of our cooks nor our maintenance team has been sick. Those who got sick worked the clinic or went out on the evangelistic campaign.

This evening they called back and said it was a bacterial infection, hence the antibiotics mentioned above.

Please pray for the entire team, but especially those who have gotten sick-Kim and Paige Atkinson, Zach Bear, Paul Brown, David Burka, Matt Collins, Michael Conatser, Dava Dickson, Josh Duncan, Zach Ezell, Susan Green, Clint Haynes, Marie Keopf, Larry Ligon, Sydney Minton, Daniel Naylor, Lydia Naylor, Brennan Page, Kaitlin Page, Carrie Pardue (she also had a bout with kidney stones), Matt Pardue, Sissy Pickler, Lacie Shannon, Erica Sircy, Shelly Springer, and yours truly, Buddy.

However, one thing that I continually repeat to our team is to remember what we are here for--Save Souls! A total of 20 were baptized in the name of our Lord. What an awesome week!
