Last post before I go...

Hello and Happy Thursday!

Selina and I will head home in the morning. She is doing better but is still not well. I finally got a nasal aspirator after two days, four hours and five stores but I can't tell you how much of a difference it has made in getting the guck out of her!

She also has a double ear infection I learned yesterday. They are looking better today. That is a bummer as I suspected this earlier and mentioned it a few times but people here seem to think a child has an ear infection when fluid is coming out of the ear. I do know that Selina has a higher pain tolerance as do Kman and Cater when it comes to their ears. I remember screaming like a baby holding my ears when I used to get them!

We are doing really well. I am so proud of how happy Selina is in spite of being sick and being in a new environment. She is such the trooper.

I am also making progress in getting the boy from an earlier post into the place that will make him an artificial limb. I have to talk to some people here to see if the things that need to be done for him here can be accomplished but thanks to the donations from everyone, I think we can get it done!

I hope everyone has a great day.

Thanks again for everything you have done for me and for our family while we have been here!
