Well its been a couple of weeks since my early departure to get home and get treatment for a persistent sickness, and glad to say it has been successfull as in especially the past several days I'm feeling fully recovered and have been without symptoms for the past week, with the exception of altered eyesight and that is slowly returning to normal too. Thankfully, a combination of full and complete diagnosis, testing, proper treatment and consistent medical care has proven successful and I'm thankful to the Lord for guiding me home at the time He did.
Unfortunately, back in Haiti the sickness continues, with Cathy pretty much knocked out of action all week with the same nausea, fever, exhaustion, headaches, chills and rashes plaguing her and several others there for many weeks. Thankfully the Lord has allowed her moments of strength with short periods of feeling better before falling ill again and into bed. Although she is determined to gut out her complete stay, she's in her final week there and starting to look forward to her return home. The sickness is a bit of a mystery, as the whole of the Sask Medical team also got sick with similar symptoms, some before departure, others on return home, and thoughts of Dengue Fever or another, unnamed illness are circulating, and stricter care with hand-washing and mosquito bite prevention the mandate for the day as new teams arrived Saturday to start their stint in Grand Goave.
On the construction front, news has been limited, but it seems concrete has been poured at the Technical School and Children's Village meaning second-floor slab and ground floor slab, respectively may now be complete and work proceeding from there. Hopefully Cathy will be able to get out and get a fuller report of the latest activity and the current buzz of activity from the new teams as they seek to fulfill their goals for their short time there...
