If you asked me if I thought I would be doing what I am doing right now when I graduated college in 2003 then I have no idea what I thought. Traveling maybe.

And that prediction is true, I do travel, the world and the biways of my own psycohology, exploring love and worry.

I never thought I would be researching liver flukes, and a 2 inch parasitical worm that will eat your liver away and block up your bile valves with it's eggs. Can you even believe that exists in people? If you do an internet search it looks like something confined to sheep for the most part.

Well that is what Rosaline our then 4 year-old had last year, distended belly and jaundiced eyes.

Now, after the 3 week general strike in Guinee, she is sick again. This time because she was unable to eat for a week and is showing signs of starvation. She hurts all over and cries throughout the night. All I can do is try to long distance diagnose and help Manimou figure out what to do. I told him fruit, milk, vitamins, and peanut butter. I hope it works, I found a doctor who works in Malawi from washington University and he swears by vitamin and mineral fortified peanut butter.

I hope that this works.
