Day +2824 : Joseph was having pneumonia

I am fine today.

I would like to update the condition of Joseph here. His fever never cease throughout the leadership retreat, and on many occasions, his body temperature elevated to 39.5 °C. However, the temperature dropped after taking paracetamol. Apart from the fever, he also experienced heavy cough. This lead me to suspect that he might be having lung infection.

I brought him to ColumbiaAsia Puchong for examination on Tuesday, after we came back from the retreat. The x-ray confirmed that he had pneumonia whereby one side of his lung was infected. He was warded three nights for intravenous antibiotic.

The fever and cough subsided after the antibiotic treatment. He is now on oral antibiotic. He will have to go for a follow-up on the second week of April.

We pray that, by grace of God, he will be completely healed by then.

See you next post :-)
