We wanted to send out a news flash to let you all know that we would like you to pray for Micah. He has been having headaches off & on this past year. Normally, he puts himself to bed and sleeps it off…but today, he came home with a really bad headache and began to vomit. He complained & was crying about the pain. Then all of a sudden he began to try to tell us that his right arm was numb but he couldn’t get the words out and they were slurred. We ran to get our co-workers, started looking up on the internet about migraines, and in the medical books. Finally, we decided to take him to the nearest hospital, which is about an hour away. He vomited quite a bit on the trip, but he tends to get car sick easily. Once we arrived at the “emergency ward”, they got him to lie down on the bed. I won’t even begin to say what the place looked like or smelled like. Anyway, its so routine for doctors and nurses to think that the patient has malaria, so that was their first concern. We assured them that he had no fever, but they insisted on testing him. They didn’t call a doctor but wanted to wait for the results. They came back an hour later with the results that he had a mild dose of malaria in his system. They still wouldn’t call the doctor so we decided to come home. Micah was already showing signs of getting better and his headache was not so severe.
He is sleeping now. He was able to eat & drink a little. Pray that we can find out how we can help him thru these migraines. Pray that he won’t get worse.
Thanks for praying!
