Gifts from Gulu

Last Friday, Aug 7th, I felt like I had the flu so I took the nessacary meds for it. But of course I have to remember that I’m in Africa and flu symptoms don’t always mean flu! 🙂 Of course I got worse so by Wed this week I was in clinic. They tested me for malaria, typhoid, and gardias. Sure enough I had 2 of the 3, tyhoid and gardias (paracites)…yuck! Two gifts from Gulu!

I’m on three meds now and improving daily. I’ll have to say that the health care here is very cheap in comparission to the U.S.. My doctors visit, 3 lab test, and all my meds were only 38,500 shillings ($16.50 in U.S. dollars). So what’s wrong with the U.S. health care system?? huh? Anyway, that’s another blog but think about it. 🙂

So I have to remember I’m still a Muzungo and I can’t trust the water….even if it is in yummy passion fruit juice! 🙂

Prayer Request: I wasn’t the only on to receive these “gifts from Gulu”. Nine other team members got what I have too so please pray for them!! Thanks and God Bless!
