Art Katz in health crisis - please pray

Goldminer Apr 24, 2007

Here is an email I got from Benisrael about Art's condition:

Art has seen numerous specialist this past year, some of them specializing
in foreign diseases.

The doctors are certain he has a form of vasculitis, but are uncertain,
after numerous testing, exactly what form of vasculitis he has.

As you are probably already aware, Art is currently in another health
crisis. After being in the hospital 2 days, we have not seen any
improvement. His fever has risen and he has terrible difficulties breathing.

Appreciating your prayers and support,

Do you know if Art has been checked for every kind of malaria, or treated for any kind of malaria during this long illness?

In many ways, this would seem to be the most obvious explanation for his collection of symptoms.

You mention vasculitis. I don't know what that is, but filariasis causes swollen legs (traditionally), and is another blood-borne condition which causes fever.

It's not impossible (I suppose) that he has both.

"April 24, 2007

Art was released from the hospital this morning. His strength and breathing have improved somewhat, enough for him to be released from the hospital."

Odd how they don't give the idea it's a crisis here. And it's also odd how they removed the April 9th update a few days ago, the one which Art wrote that he felt God was going to heal him so that it would be a witness to the Jewish Community, etc.
