Dengue Fever

This afternoon we went to our appointment with the Estrada Family.They are a family we met with Brother Base.The father is a member of the church but is away working in New Guinea.The mother and 2 boys are not members because when the father was taught and baptized the mother was busy working.Anyway we had met them and she said we could come back but then missed the appointment so finally we had another meeting set up. When we got there though the younger boy was there and said his mom had taken his brother to the hospital with possible Dengue Fever so we decided to the hospital to see how they were and if they needed anything. It took a little while to find them because we asked for Estrada and the boy's name is Joshua Rivera{from previous marriage} but when we finally did find them they seemed happy to see us and impressed that we cared enough to come. He does have Dengue so they kept him in. There really isn't anything they can do for it except monitor the blood platelets because if they get to low they have to give him blood.They do give I.V. though to keep him hydrated so we went to the drugstore and got that for them. Hopefully he will be o.k.
