Mrs. Gentry is ill

Please pray for Mrs. Gentry. She wasn't feeling well this morning, but thought it would pass and didn't want to worry Bro Gentry who had plans to go to the new property about 4 hours away. Mrs. Gentry progressively got worse. At around 12 noon she was able to gather the strength to call for help and Lloyd and Thandie took her to the hospital. Brother Gentry returned from the new property and was able to meet them at the hospital. The doctors said that Mrs. Gentry has every sign of Malaria, although it is not yet showing in her blood. Brother Gentry is checking her out of the hospital now and will take her home to recuperate. She is being treated for Malaria. Brother Gentry and Thandie both said that Mrs. Gentry is very sick. I will update the blog as I get word on her progress. Please pray for Mrs. Gentry's health, for strength for Bro Gentry and for water/electric at the house. Malaria is awful by itself, but to have it in a place where you have no running water is nearly unbearable. Please lift the Gentry's up in prayer. (7:30am PST)

UPDATE: The Gentry's have gone to bed. Next update expected 6/21/07 11pm(PST)

UPDATE: 6/22/07 1am(EST), the following message is from Mrs. Gentry's daughter Denise: I just spoke to my mom for 25 minutes and she is doing MUCH better! The medicine started to take effect almost immediately and she hasn't thrown up since yesterday. She said the chills have let up and she is still very weak but knows that she is on the road to recovery! She wanted you to THANK everyone for their prayers, she wouldn't be feeling this well if it was not for the Lord answering prayer. Continue to pray that she will continue to get her strength back for the trip home.

UPDATE: 6/22/07 8:30am (PST): I just spoke to Brother Gentry and he says that Mrs. Gentry is not well, but doing much better. She is responding to the medication. Praise the Lord! Mrs. Gentry said that she can feel a change. Please continue to pray for her.
