Dear Brother and Sister Ball,
Your son called me this week because he was not feeling
well. He had a fever and nausea. when he was not better a few days later he
had an appointment at a clinic that is one of our approved facilities. The doctor ordered some blood tests
done. Elder Ball learned the next day
that he had Dengue Fever. It is caused
from a mosquito bite. Because his fever
responds well to Tylenol and his blood platelet count is normal they have not
hospitalized him. He does need to go in
every day for blood work to watch for complications. He said that he was feeling a little better
today. He did not have much fever and
the anti-nausea medicine helped him to be able to eat. Dengue Fever does cause a lot of head and
muscle pain. There is not much they can
give to cure it but only to treat the symptoms.
Sunday was the first day he was sick and the worst part usually lasts
about a week. Hopefully after this
weekend he should be feeling better and getting back to normal.
I will let you know if anything changes. He is in relatively good spirits considering
the circumstances. He is anxious to get
back to work. We appreciate Elder Ball
and the good spirit he brings to our mission.
Thank you for sharing your son with us.

Dear Brother and Sister Ball,
I can understand your concern about your son. He is doing much better. I was surprised to see him at the Saturday
Evening session of District Conference last night. He said he was feeling better. He was also at conference this morning and
looked like he was back to his normal self.
He is quite a diligent missionary.
Warm Regards,
Sister Berrett
