Liberia Update

It is Sunday night and today was an off day. I spent the day with the medical team on the campus of ABC. Tim Williams acted as our tour guide. We went to a Baptist church this morning, the church that Tim's father (Earl) started. The rest of the day was spent piddling around on 'The Virus', moving our things into our new house (House 4), and watching soccer.
Tomorrow we will be resuming shoe deliveries.
Saturday was crazy. We drove down to Ganta from Yekepa with the rest of the teams and got set up in the hotel. A few of us went with the music team and helped set up the stage. Brandon and I were then told that we were to head back up to Yekepa with the medical team.
On the van ride back to Yekepa, we stopped back at the hospital to check the lab results for little two month old Arthur, whose mom had brought to the hospital with a severe fever. The lab results confirmed that little Arthur has malaria. I'm happy to report that someone has picked up his medical bill and he will be admitted to the hospital. Without this, his mother would not be able to afford the treatment and he might not have made it.
Further along in our journey, Brandon started feeling car sick. After a while, we had to stop as he was feeling too sick to continue. Getting out did not make him feel better and he started feeling numb in his extremeties. Before I knew it, the medical staff was out of the van and we had an emergency room set up on the side of the road. Brandon was suffering from Hypokalemia (low potassium). After stabilizing him, we got him back to Yekepa. Brandon is doing better today, and will be spending the next few days helping out the medical team. These guys and gals are good!
