How do you get malaria in the prairies of Canada!!!
On Friday on our way from Saskatoon to Burstall, Paul started getting achy and sore. Then started putting on jackets and sweaters in 30 degree weather (at this point Heidi already had a diagnosis). We got to our friends house and Paul was shaking and achy and had a pounding headache. Then he got hot. It subsided and we got a decent night's rest. Saturday morning we went to the hospital Medicine Hat and after 7 hours of waiting around we finally got the prescription we needed, but not soon enough, because Paul went through the chills and shakes again.
Thank you for your prayers, Paul is doing better, although the side effects from the medication are not very nice. We have cancelled our trip to Lethbridge and will rest one more day before going on to Airdrie.
