Camp was broken extra quick this morning as Ruth took a turn for the worst and we needed to get her back to a clinic. We hit the road at 7am and were at the clinic by 8am. Ruth spent till midday in the clinic getting more drugs administered by drip and having tests. The malaria has now gone according to the tests, however it seems that dehydration and a stomach infection had set in. Considering she was carried off the truck at 8am, it was amazing that she walked back on the truck at midday and ate a fried chicken lunch. They clearly had some magic drugs that were administered. Hopefully this is the end of her illness and she now just recovers. Seeing how quickly Ruth went down and her almost non-responsive state, I can now see why malaria can kill quite easily. Will be spraying on some extra insect repellent going forward.
