Hey everyone. Sorry I haven't been around. I can't recall how much I've written in the past about this but my friend Hassan is incredibly sick. In Ghana he had a run in with some sea urchins and got 107 spines in his feet. All but two are out but they are embedded deeply into his foot and he is having surgery in South Africa to remove them. He has been running a high fever, all of his lymph nodes are swollen and the doctors on the boat aren't sure what is wrong with him. The leading possibilities are sepsus (spelling?), malaria or hopefully just his body trying to reject the spines. Regardless I am terrified. Please keep him in your thoughts and prayers during the next few days and I hope more than anything that my next post has good news. I love you all.
Wow, poor thing. I'll be thinking of him and you, sending warm wishes. :/
