Call with Janice

I've gotten to talk with Janice a couple times on the phone over the last month, and in a nutshell, I'll try and share what I remember.

There have been times of sickness and wellness. It sounded like they all (or most all) have had a few bouts with stomach ailments, but a little more so with Janice, Steven, and Esther. In todays conversation she said every one was doing really well right now.

Janice thought she had Ecoli, but said today the Dr. said it was probably a dysentery from shigella (sp?). She ended up having an allergic reaction to the malaria drug which caused some severe symptoms. She had to go to the clinic 3 times, with several shots from an epi-pen to even be able to get there. She has had severe swelling, hives, difficulty breathing, but it looks like she is well on her way to getting back to normal again.

They are schooling and trying to find a routine. As Gracey told Amanda, it is so different even just making a simple meal like hamburger gravy. They can't use instant potatoes and gravy from a packet like we can!

There was a dust storm and a down pour of rain that Payton said sounded like hammering on the roof, then instant mud outside!

I heard we will be getting a disk with photos sometime soon, so keep checking for pictures in the future!

They have lots of weird bugs. The front door is covered with them every morning. Yikes! I'm not a real bug fan!!

More later,
