Typhoid Fever?..we don't get THAT in Guatemala...or do we?
















What happens when you contract Typhoid Fever ? ..... lots of creative networking....you don't want to go to the hospital if you can help it. We were provided a doctor by the Lord who was willing to treat Cooper at home and so after 3 rounds of antibiotics, possible kidney / liver damage issues, fever, gallbladder type pain we decided to get him on an IV and run his antibiotics/ pain meds through that. The doctor and I toured our home and came up with " a coat hanger attached to the light socket" method for dispensing the IV. A sweet friend informed me that she was a 12 year vet to nursing and could change out IV came and spent her Friday with us ...... provisions and more provisions.... (is it Thanksgiving yet??? ) ..... I am thankful for the gifts and talents of brothers and sisters as well as the spirit of coming together in times of need that we have experienced. Cooper is getting well but has a long way to go. He is sleeping a lot and we continue to petition the Lord for complete recovery. This has presented us with scary moments and we are forever grateful for the people who pray for us without knowing "the details". Thank you to every person who supports our endevors to be here in Guatemala living out this crazy life. We are witnessing his prescence and powerful work daily ! We love you all ~

Evans family! I am so blessed to be in prayer for you and with you through this amazing adventure!

Glad to hear that Cooper is on the mend. My heart sank when I read the title and had to wait for the blog to actually download.

Praising the Lord for HE knows what we need well before we do and HE makes all the impossible, very POSSIBLE. HE is GOOD!

I will continue to be in prayer for a healthy recovery in GOD's perfect timing!
