Sick Missionary so far from home---

It's really hard on a parent to not be able to be there for a sick child.....and I still consider Josh my "CHILD".... even though he is 21.

In Josh's email this morning he told of how he had to finally go visit his first West Indian doctor. He's been very sick with an extremely high fever for a couple of weeks, and his back and neck were so stiff he wasn't able to turn his head. They thought he may have meningitis....but they eventually ruled that out. He didn't really come right out and say what he had....so of course the wheels in my head are turning, thinking possibly Dengue Fever again. He suffered through that last year. I'm not sure someone should have to suffer through that twice.

I'm a little emotional knowing that there's nothing I can do for him....he's so far away, and I can't even call him on the phone. I know he's being looked after by a higher being, but I'm still struggling. I'm hoping to get better news in the next few days. Miss that kid!
