This is it folks...be afraid!!!

Well, sorry about the long delay in writing and catching up with all of you. The ending of my trip to Indonesia didn't go well. This little parasite got into me, caused fever, dehydration, seizures, and real problems. The children all mobilized to get me the care I needed. Chuck and Miyoko got me to a medical center where they took care of me in the Intensive care unit for 4 days then out to a room. Robert, Erin, Channah, Tyler, and Naomi organized getting Dad out of America and off to Indonesia to get me. They also organized coverage for Rita to have someone at the house to make sure she got off to school. Naomi, dear one that she is, organized my house, spring cleaned, and prepared the house for my return home.

Charlie got to Indonesia after a long flight with a 22 hour layover. I think Chuck and Miyoko were as happy to see him as I was!! We were there two days longer so I could get more stable then off to the airport and home to America. Robert picked us up at the airport and I was really washed out. We rested overnight then headed home and have been doing the Doctor rounds since then. Rita takes me to exercise almost every day and I am getting stronger. Today I made it out to church and they had a surprise cake and fellowship dinner for me to welcome me home. God has been so great and I pray I will continue to recover.
