It has been a while since we've blogged. Sorry. It has been a rough time lately, especially for Jodi. She has been sick for basically 3 months now, with a severe bladder infection that has not responded to 3 doctors, and 3 rounds of antibiotics. On top of that, the Dr. said yesterday it is likely that Jodi has more cysts on her ovaries. She also has Candida, which is a yeast overload in the body, so she is on a strict yeast-free diet and some strong anti-fungal medicine as well. She has been in a lot of pain, and has been unable to stay awake for an entire day. She is sick of feeling sick! Jodi has another appointment with a specialist on the 25th, so we should know more then.

It has been very stressful for both of us, as we're not currently in Swaziland and feel guilty about now contributing there, because the need is great. But right now Jodi's health is our top priority.  Please pray with us that Jodi would be HEALTHY, and that this infection would be gone for good. We are currently in South Africa, and will be until she is fully recovered. Thank you for being gracious with us.

Much love,

Marius & Jodi
