Back From The Mosquito Wars

Hello priceless friends and family. I’ve been requested to write today’s entry, and since I’ve had four days’ hospital rest, I felt up to it!! Today is Saturday, June 24, and I am still in the hospital, but I’ve been able to get up and walk around and visit...

Platelets are on the rise….

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...

More…

I left the kids and Angie in the new hospital room to run down the street and send out an update email. While I was gone, my friend Auhjun (my new police officer friend) sent me a text message that said, ‘I am at the hospital in your room....

New Hospital

It was sleepless night for me. I dozed off for about 20-30 minutes at a time. I felt ok, it was just that I kept worrying about her. i wanted to call her so many times, but I knew she would be resting. Kyndal slept soundly next to me...

Please pray for us…

Father’s Day

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....

Nurse, Mom, Dad, Cook, Maid, Host, etc. on a rainy day

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...

The Coolest and Quietest Day Yet

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...

Change of plans…

A lot of cool stuff happened today. I left the house early because I wanted to get some stuff done for the business. I got to the main island too early, so I swung by a wifi shop to update the blog, check email, ect. While I was online,...
