On a more lighthearted note, we've been making two sand volleyball pitches near our hangar. So once or twice a week we play volleyball with some of the local churches. It's a lot of fun, and there's tons of space for the kids to run around and play too. Below are a few slightly random photos taken these last few days.
Esther has been getting worse and worse these last few days. At this stage she's completely unable to get out of bed, and needs to be carried if she wants to go anywhere. Her fever has been very high and quite constant. She's in a lot of pain, especially in her joints. One of the local laboratories does house calls, so a guy came around and tested her for dengue fever and other potential threats, thankfully they all came back negative. It's likely she has something known as Chikungunya, which is a virus that has some similarities to Dengue, at least as far as the symptoms are concerned (but is not as dangerous). We would have to get another test to know for sure, but it takes a few days to get the results and we're not really sure it's worth the effort. She's able to retain food and drink, which is the only reason we haven't taken her to the hospital. I guess the biggest danger is dehydration. There's no medicine for Chikungunya, only painkillers to deal with the symptoms. We're just waiting and hoping things will get better.
