Possession: False alarm
I'm sure everyone will be as disappointed as I was to learn that our housekeeper's husband is NOT actually possessed, but instead is suffering from a strain of malaria known as cerebral malaria, which can "induce changes in mental status and coma. It is an acute, widespread disease of the brain which is accompanied by fever. The mortality ratio is between 25-50%. If a person is not treated, CM is fatal in 24-72 hours." Not pretty.
After his exorcism didn't achieve the desired result he agreed to go back to the hospital where they diagnosed his illness. So now he's on the required medication and should be back to good health within a week or so – and we get our housekeeper back! Yay! Am not the most adept at hand washing my own clothes... and there's only so many times I can turn my undies inside out to wear again!
