Hi sister Barton's mum! It's sister Holzworth here! Sister Barton has written you all a letter which I think will be sent either today or possibly tomorrow! She is right now with one of our couple missionaries getting her blood checked! So I bet you have been quite worried about sister Barton! She has missed you so much this week! She said this was her first time of being quite sick and not having her mum there! I'm going to make sure she gets to email you sometime this week! She has been doing a lot better these past few days- the first 7 days of dengue are very painful. She was also vomitting so she was quite dehydrated. But on Monday the vomitting stopped and she has been able to eat and drink since Monday! So she has survived the first week, so hopefully by next Monday, she'll be back to normal! Or at least close hahah! I've been her "nurse" person this week hahaha we have gotten a whole lot closer- I know everything that has gone into her body and everything coming out haha its kind of weird! Everyday she gets her blood checked to see her how cells and platelets are doing and great news, yesterday they increased! With dengue, normally you lose a lot of platelets or blog cells... But yesterday, instead of dropping, they increased! This is very very good news and means within a week she should be back to being Sister Barton! She misses you, her mother, and also misses working ! She even tried to convince the other day to let her go out and teach one lesson! She is even crazier when she is sick! I know you're prayers mean the world to her! She loves you and your letter meant the world to her! You should hear from her again tomorrow or possibly Friday!
Don't worry too much, she is doing a lot better! And we plan on celebrating your 1 year mark this week when she gets better! We even got her M&Ms because she said they are her favorite and I know she loves Halloween which will be next PDAY!
And that's about it! It's sister Holzworth by the way hahaha fancy us being companions again! We were watching finding nemo yesterday which the Ostlers brought over and we were both laughing at the Australian accents because I sound so American right now! So even when she is sick, she laughs! She loves you and misses you Sister Barton !!! I'll always be here looking after her :)
Love sister Holzworth xxx
