Gotcha!

So when the medicine didn't resolve the problem Andrew decided to have tests done to try and get to the root of it. Turns out that he had a nasty parasite called Giardia. Treatment was another 3 day course of medicine to get rid of the bug and other medication to rebuild his intestine. Reading the symptoms I figured I should take the medicine too (it could do no harm).

So we are thankfully feeling a lot better and will perhaps be staying away from salad for a while! Thanks for your prayers.

Sadly the MacKinnon kids developed nasty throat infections this week. Antibiotics seemed to resolve the situation but we are thankful that apart from runny noses our kids were good this week. We continue to appreciate your prayers for our health and for our safety as we are out and about.
