We received instructions from HQ in Louisville to pack our katundu and head to the states on the first flight we can get out of Lusaka. There aren't any confirmed cases in Zambia yet, but there's some knocking on the door. I've got an ascending aortic aneurysm we're monitoring and one of my docs said a raging case of the cv could cause some complications with the aneurysm - not real wild about depending on the Zambian healthcare system.

Of course we hope this will be over soon and can return to Zambia.

Keep us in your prayers as we hold our breaths as we make connections in airports on our way home.
