Another Update from Elder Legere's Mom

I got to talk to Elder Legere again, today! He sounded so much better and this time it DID help to hear his voice and talk to him!! :)
He said that he has an appointment tomorrow morning with the mission president to talk about whether or not he will be staying there. The missionary doctor was very straight forward with how serious his malaria was & that if he got sick like that again there was a good chance it would be fatal. He said the church doesn't like to take those kinds of risks, But it was up to the mission president and Cameron on whether they would take that chance. If Cameron has any say in it he is going to stay! He is very concerned because in the last 2 weeks the mission president sent home a white missionary and a native missionary because of malaria. I think almost every missionary has had it at least once so far but each case is so different than the next. There was another white missionary (one that went out in the same group as Cameron) that came to the mission home about the same time as Cameron did, with malaria. The medication the Bailey's gave him worked well on him....although he did end up at the hospital with Cameron because he also had kidney stones! :)
I just want to thank all who have shown great concern for Cameron & for those who have kept him in their prayers!
