Prayer Request

Please pray for Stephen. He has had a fever (chills, headache, body aches) since Tuesday and we suspect he may have Dengue fever, although, so far, he hasn't had the typical rash.  Dengue is a mosquito-borne virus; there have been many cases this rainy season.  The alternate name for this virus is break-bone fever from the associated muscle and joint pain. Tomorrow, he will have a blood test to confirm. As the information below indicates, the only treatment is to manage the fever and pain.  We appreciate your prayers on his behalf.  I will update as I have more information.
