Diogo was bitten on his foot by a snake today while putting on a rollerblade. Fortunately, Mike was nearby to quickly put him in the car, while Doni, our farmer, killed the snake, put it in a plastic bag, and threw it inside the car with them. Ben jumped in the car and at Mike's request took off his shoestring to make a temporary tourniquet. They arrived at the hospital within minutes and the doctor confirmed that the snake was poisonous ("jararaca") and immediately ordered an anti-venom medicine from Guarapuava. He will be staying overnight in the hospital for observation. Please pray for Diogo's quick return home.

Poor guy!!! I hope he is doing better now! I'll be praying for him. How scary that probably was, for everyone!
