John's trip to Japan just became more adventurous. He has contracted viral meningitis, and is in the hospital in Yokosuka. In the past two weeks thirteen people on the base have caught this disease. His prognosis is good, they told him he has a mild case and that he should be released sometime soon. Part of the adventure was having a Japanese intern administer his spinal tap. He inserted the needle 4 or 5 times before he realized that the needle wasn't long enough!! Please pray for John, for quick healing and that he doesn't have too much pain. (Maybe that was part of the spinal tap, to give him some other pain to think about!)

When he gets home we can break one of his bones to keep his mind off of his other issues. I think it might really work. Maybe....
Update: Momma and I talked to John for about 20 minutes via his room in the hospital. He is doing okay and will know a lot more tomorrow (our tomorrow) since it is already tomorrow there. We will keep you posted.
