Urgent Prayers Needed

Ryan called home this afternoon (Sunday) to tell us that he is very sick. He became sick during the night alternating between vomiting and diahrrea. The GI upset has been so severe that he throws up whatever medication he takes to gain some relief. I talked to the missionary with whom Ryan is staying and he told me that there are three likely causes... (1) Virus - which typically will last 24 hours; (2) Bacteria - which can be treated with some medications; or (3) Parasites - which also can be treated with medications. It is a little after 5:00 p.m. their time and the missionary said that they cannot drive at night because the semi-trucks drive the roads without headlights. So... if he is not significantly better by morning they will leave at 5:00 a.m. to drive to Ouga (which is 3-4 hours away) where he will be able to receive medical services. Ryan asked that I update his blog so as many people as possible can pray for him.

Deepest sympathies though it is expected to be ill during your stay in another country. I've passed the word along

Tell them the truth Ryan Jones!!! That you used me for a month, while I paid for everything; meals and trips. That I took you on a camping trip, on Valentine's Day, I paid for to help you cope with your brother's death. That on your brother's birthday, you got blackout drunk and I took care of you while you verbally abused me. That I saved your life because you were alcohol poisoned and were chocking on your own vomit. That after you committed yourself to me and told me to hang on while you sort all this out, you then disposed of me like yesterday's garbage. Tell them the truth!!! I am honorable and will defend this any day and anytime!!!! Why don't you tell them what an abusive alcoholic you are and how you can't it get up normally because you sit at home, jerking off to FART PORN (not a joke people SERIOUSLY-he jerked off to fart porn while I watched-HIS request). Don't you fucking dare lie about me when I treated you like gold and cherished you!!!
