Isaac

Some of you may know my brother Isaac. He left last week for a short-term mission trip to Paraguay. While he was there, he had a seizure of some sort and was taken to the hospital in the rural town they were in. He responded to the anti-convulsive medication but has been continuing to have convulsions off and on since then. He has been transported to the main city in Paraguay where the medical facilities are a bit better.

A CAT scan of his brain yesterday didn't turn up anything abnormal. When he goes into convulsions, his heart rate is erratic which is a concern. They expect to do an EEG (EKG maybe? I'm not sure of terms) today to see if they can find anything wrong with his heart.

My Dad is trying to get down there to help bring him back to the States. This weekend when he heard the news he dug up his passport and found it expired in June. God worked a miracle in that he was able to get down to the Miami US consulate office and renew his passport. It looked like that would not be possible but someone there took him under their wing and got it done.

He will be flying out of Miami this evening at 11 and hopefully be in touch with Isaac tomorrow. I know he's exhausted so pray for peace for him and my Mother.

Thanks,
