Bad health news from my best friend.

Dixie´s husband Humberto has a painful herpes zoster in his back. He is taking expensive anti inflammatory drugs plus antiviral drugs similar to Aciclovir. But the worst is that Prem, their grandson, has rheumatic fever. This could be very dangerous. His mother, in Ecuador, tells him not to take any medicine and says that she will heal him sending him good vibes. When Dixie told me this, I could only say bad words under my breath. There are times when good vibes are not enough. I remember that my grandson, then around 20 years old, told me to stop chemotherapy and start meditation when I was diagnosed with a lymphoma. I think meditation and other things help a lot, but do NOT work instead of chemo or strong antibiotics in some cases. Prem had rheumatic fever before, when he lived with his mother. She did not take him to a doctor in due time. Thanks be given that now his father has the tuition. Andrés will go to live in Australia, where Ruthie, his second wife, was born. I hope all is for the best. Today Prem is going to the doctor. Pray for him please.
