Medical tests continue. Actually some of his tests have shown signs of the swine flu of all things and they no longer suspect cerebral malaria. It is still important that they find the cause so that they can decide exactly how to treat him and speed his recovery. There is still infection in the brain that needs to be dealt with. He has a lot of difficulty breathing because of fluid built up in his air passages which he is too weak to cough out. This keeps him from resting well right now. He has to have his arms strapped down which he really doesn't like but he is not clear headed enough at this time to not pull all the tubes out should his hands be free. He is still being fed by a tube. So there is still plenty to pray about. Thank you so very much.
Matthias should be in Germany by now though I have not yet heard from him. I am glad that when he sees his dad today, his dad will be able to recognize and respond to him. And now I want to get this sent so that you can praise God with us!!"
