Hello priceless friends and family, I’ve been asked to write today’s entry, and after four days of hospital rest, I finally feel up to it! Today is Saturday, June 24, and though I’m still in the hospital, I’ve been able to get up, walk around, and visit with Bobby,...

The nights stay in the hospital was a little different than we are used to. About 10pm, the nurse came in and showed me how to lock the door. They said if we didnt, then thieves would come during the night. So I was thinking, ‘How are the nurses...

I left Angie and the kids in the hospital room for a few minutes to run down the street and send out an update email. While I was gone, I got a text from my new friend Auhjun (our friendly neighborhood police officer). It said:“I am at the hospital...

It was a sleepless night for me. I managed to doze off for about 20–30 minutes at a time. I wasn’t feeling bad physically—I just couldn’t stop worrying about Angie. I wanted to call her so many times during the night, but I knew she needed rest. Kyndal slept...

My kids were so sweet today. I woke up to them coming in my room with toast. Mom was still dragging (no I dont mean dressing up in some crazy clothes) and trying to get over the island virus. She promised she did not touch any of the food....

Today was probably the toughest day so far. I remember only a few times that Angie has been sick and even with the comforts of the United States it was difficult. I spent the day trying to do housework (washing clothes, cleaning dishes and sweeping), taking temperatures and giving...

How amazing to live so close the equator and go all day and never see the sun. The wind has blown all day, it has been cloudy and rainy most of the day. At one point we turned off the fans in the house. Several of the windows had...

A lot of cool stuff happened today. I left the house early to take care of a few things for the business. I arrived at the main island too early for my appointments, so I stopped by a Wi-Fi shop to update the blog and check email. While I...
