Angie and Evangeline
Before moving to Senegal, we spent a year and a half in Quebec City, where Dan attended French language school. During that period, Angie suffered two miscarriages. This month, she suffered her third. She's written about it on our blog.
As Angie was recovering, Evangeline came down with a staph infection. It started as a little pimple, which looked like nothing serious. Dan, however, is a cautious man and was quick to seek medical attention. We are so glad he did, because we subsequently found out that a staph infection, if left untreated, can lead to permanent damage to the joint (in her case, the knee), and could even require long-term hospitalization. Our pediatrician took great care of her, and we got her on two different antibiotics, plus an antibacterial cream. She's on the mend, but because staph is very contagious and has a high rate of recurrence, we remain vigilant. We appreciate your prayers for our family's health and heart at this time.
