Mama Maria, our lovable and ornery cook/live-in-grandmother is in the hospital with cholera. She had diarrhea and vomiting set it over the weekend and went to the hospital this (Monday) morning.
Cholera is a scary disease and requires aggressive treatment. The hospital here has a wing specifically for diarrhea and cholera cases, but just because there is space does not mean there is effective care. It can be very deadly, and we are hoping that she did not get it here at the orphanage but rather got it while visiting her brother in Murrupula. Still, we are on a high level of alert here and taking every preventative measure we can to ensure nobody gets sick.
Please keep her in your prayers, as she is in ours.
