Just to mention a few things that have been going around our house since we returned from the other side of the world. Even my poor parents, it seems, have had to suffer through the mumps, having been here when we got home. The good news is we are now on the other side of most of these. Max still has some parasite issues that we are treating with medicine, but other than that things seem to be settling down.
Hayden and Allison left for Costa Rica on Sat. morning. Early, early Sat. morning. We haven't been able to speak to them but I would guess they are still rather tired from basically being up all night Friday night and traveling all day on Sat. Veldon was planning to go but once the mumps got a hold of me he decided he would do better to stay home and make sure the house didn't fall down. I very much appreciate having him home. Although I am past most of the affects of the virus I am still pretty drained. Katie is free and clear tomorrow, although the CDC encouraged us not be out and about too much for a couple days after. Just to be safe I suppose.
Things with Max are stilling going very well. Who knows after six months. For some families that's the magic number when things get really rough. I read countless blogs of families doing great until the last home visit is complete and the child goes crazy! I'm not saying that will happen for us, but the possibility exists and I might as well be aware of it. Of course, as ever it is in God's hands and He won't allow us to walk through anything that hasn't passed through His hand. He is picking up more language everyday and is so proud of himself when he does. This morning he said medicine like he has been saying it his whole life...of course he still can't say girl so go figure! He asks us all the time "you okay?". It's very sweet. He is asking for "water" instead of nahm, and says "eat" as often as gin. He has also noticed that a good part of the family is gone and yesterday every time the garage door opened he yelled "Hayden, Allison". He misses them and will be happy for their return. We all miss them and will be glad for them to come home this Friday.
Max has an appointment this week with the urologist. We'll be glad to start having some answers. Other than that things are fine.
