Good news from the Knapps in Australia! Here is an excerpt from an email Kellie sent out:
To make a very long tiring story short, all of Jason’s blood tests came back fine, his chest X-rays were perfect, he went through a stress test and that also checked out great. He has a perfectly healthy heart! The EKG showed a couple blips (a birth defect) that we need to have a cardiologist look at when we get home to the states, but that was not the cause of the chest pain. So what was it that scared us so much and got us down here to Australia? They said that there was inflammation in the chest cavity due to the stress of the malaria and the infection which he had undergone. They put him on some medications/antibiotics told him to rest, recuperate and stay near a hospital for at least a couple more days. So, we are here in Australia right now and trying to put our minds in “break” mode since we have to stay here 3 weeks because we need our PNG visas to be renewed. Our passports are being DHL to us today and we will have to send those to Brisbane to get the necessary paperwork.
So we are very relieved and encouraged that Jason is going to be fine. Thanks for praying!
Chad, Janeene & Elijah
