Some of you may recall me talking about Steph Tyrna. I knew her from AIM, then later spent time with her in Cambodia. She is a World Race alumni and has served with us a couple summers ago in Haiti. Currently she resides in Cambodia with our AIM community.
 
One of my roles at AIM is as the Asia Advocate for AIM’s Long Term Mission department. This covers, Thailand, India and Cambodia where Steph is currently. I’m asking you to please read the below and keep Steph and the team in your prayers. Dengue is awful. I recall my mother having the “break bone” type while living in Guatemala. This is the other kind of Dengue. Steph is a trooper and is staying positive in light of the pain and discomfort.  
 

Below is an update written from her, on her health – please keep her in your prayers. Dengue can be serious – if nothing else absolutely miserable. If you’d like, please send her a word of encouragement, a prayer, a verse…I’m sure she’d love it. The team has been by her side everyda
y and could use your prayers as well…this has been a great, but tough year for the Cambodia team.

well i am still in the hospital/clinic. ive been here since friday. my platelets are still dropping. they are now 59,000. please pray that they will start to increase ASAP. the doc said they might do a small blood transfusion here in cambodia with a blood donor who lives here (a westerner) but i dont know yet if that is going to happen or not.

they have poked me over 20 or 25 times to draw blood so my veins are shot. i usually cry now every time they take my blood bc it just hurts so much. 

They’ve given me over 20 or 25 bags of fluid in my iv too.

ok i just got interrupted bc doc just came in and he said my platelets were now at 81,000. so please pray they continue to rise.

im really really sick of being here. im getting more emotional as the days go by – i try to just sleep as much as i can so i can just be better someday soon

i don’t have much energy. i have on and off headaches, sore throat/inflamed throat. my neck and back are sooo sore from laying in this bed for 5 days straight.

i have such amazing friends here tho. I’ve had so many visitors. i have lots of lovely flowers and presents and ive never been alone. someone has stayed with me every night and i always have someone here with me during the day, even when all i do is sleep, they are still here by my side to hold my hand when the docs poke my veins for more blood.

the docs are constantly checking my temp which keeps fluctuating up and down – fever hasn’t really gone away but its not surer high. my blood pressure is normal. they oxygen level in my blood is normal.

ok im gonna go to bed now

wanted to write really fast

dunno when ill update again

plz keep praying

thanks so much for all of ur prayers

love you

steph

One response to “Dengue.”

  1. Connie,
    you are doing a great job supporting this team. I consider it a great joy to join you in praying for them. Steph will be a main focus of prayer until she is healed.
