While getting ready for church this morning, we received the usual knock at the door to let us know that there was a sick child at the dispensaire. But today was different…today the messenger seemed to think the child was ‘very sick’. They were right. I arrived at the dispensaire to find a comatose child of only 5 or 6 years of age without a heart beat. His skin was fire hot. The parents informed me the fever had started during the night but that he became ‘lifeless’ only this morning. I quickly put him on the floor and kneeling beside him (in prayer) tried to resuscitate him. Hope kindled for a brief moment as I heard his little heart beat life once more but the hope was short lived as it quickly stopped again. Ten minutes later I stopped too. Cause of death? All signs suggested he had cerebral malaria.
And so the season begins...
