Day #6

Last night several of the kids slept outside because the generator wasn't working.  Well, tonight there is no need for that as of 3 PM this afternoon the generator is up and running.  Unfortunately, the fix is only temporary as our mechanic essentially hot wired it by bypassing the computer controls.  Seems there's an electrical system short somewhere b/t the motor and the control cabinet.  Tomorrow, our elecrtrician will be coming to do a full system diagnostic (and hopefully repair it for good).
 
Talked with Janice tonight.  Man, was it ever good to hear her silky voice.  I can't believe how much I miss her and the kids.  Unfortunately, her condition isn't improving so tomorrow it is back to the doctor for a change in medication.  Liddy's illness is still a mystery so she's going back to the doctor as well.
 
Oh yeah, almost forgot, Esther's on day 4 of basically running around naked all day long.  She really doesn't like the heat!!!
 
Highlight of the day was hearing the noisy hum of the generator at long last.
 
Low point of the day was the re-recognition that I'm here and Janice is there and there's nothing I can do about it. 
 
Until tomorrow.

I'm enjoying the daily updates Steve. Thank you!

I know you miss your wife and kids that are here but I sure enjoyed seeing them and visiting on Sunday! We're trying hard to get Libby ready in time to travel back with them.

Praying for you all -
