This afternoon a mother was at home alone with her girl, whose temperature was 105. Suddenly her eyes rolled back and she had a seizure, flailing his arm and legs. Minutes later I received a distressing call from the emergency ward. This 18-month old was still convulsing and barely breathing. Convulsions here in Angola almost always mean malaria of the brain or meningitis – not the benign ‘febrile seizures’ like we see among children in the United States. When I examined the girl I discovered pneumonia, but with little in the way of tests to diagnose her more specifically, I simply treated her for all three infection – just in case. We also prayed of the little girl. Perhaps you’d join me?
