Malnutrition and Recovery in the Canyon
My own heart skipped a beat when I discovered that his dangerously low potassium level (1.7) was causing EKG abnormalities. Sadly, this little boy suffered from Kwashiorkor- a form of protein deficiency malnutrition common in the canyon.
Hydroxychloroquine for COVID19 in resource poor regions
The research does not suggest it is time to abandon chloroquine as a viable therapy for COVID-19, especially in developing countries. It may also be a viable option for prophylaxis to prevent infections of healthcare workers.

It means we have learned to inspire communities to recognize, and own their problems, and then create their own lasting solutions.
What a Difference
Ravaged by tornadoes early Tuesday morning, our property in Cookeville was untouched. Thankful for that grace, we grieve and participate with friends who suffer loss. We get to make a difference where we are as we minister to, and with, those we visit.
