Update from Dave & CRI and our global missions partnership: Please be in genuine prayer over these precious children and their wonderful leadership! This is an update from the CRI fb page, see more info there on specific ways that you can pray and help. When we asked you to pray and shared that is was a desperate situation with a life and death issue and that it could have a catastrophic fallout we truly meant just that.Thank you for praying and not pressing us for information. We are prepared to share now what has happened and also the desperate need for you to continue to pray. This is one of the most difficult posts that I have ever had to share - please bear with me if it seems scattered. On June 9th one of our children Nagulu began to have seizures and was admitted to the Hospital for observation ( He is still there and will be for another 2 weeks ) he became very ill and after a series of tests discovered that he had Meningitis. The home that where he lives also provides for an additional 28 children - the youngest are 3 babies. On June 18 a second child became ill with high fever and nausea ; our Director took her to the Hospital to have her treated. They also admitted her to the same Hospital and began to treat her for the fever and Nausea ; within 24 hours she went into a Coma. The diagnosis was also Meningitis ; however all the tests had not been completed ; so no one was 100% sure. At approximately 3:00 AM the next morning we were told that she had no hope to survive and within a few hours Akshaya died. Our entire team are all devastated and broken hearted over this tragedy. It now has been determined that the type of Meningitis that she contracted was one of the most serious strains and fatal if not treated immediately and extremely contagious. All of these children live together and are very active and close to each other - they are a family. The probability of many more being infected is very high. Continue in prayer over Dave, Joshua, and these children. Dave and his family will be with us on Sunday.
