So, made the call tonight to head back to the states tomorrow. (Saturday)
Not what I want to do, but the doctor who is helping us here, Dokte Jen, whom we love and trust implicitly, says it's time. She says we will be scolded for not seeking treatment sooner as it is. Awesome. Looking forward to that. I will probably just cry and tell them to shut the crap up. Because that's what I seem to do when scolded lately.
We thought I was going to have to come back by myself as flight availability was a problem. The thought of being separated from Nick (AGAIN!) made me extremely weepy. But at the 11th hour (actually 2 AMish), miraculously 2 tickets showed up next to each other with the perfect timing for us. SO thankful for this. They were business class too, which, (while we paid an arm and a leg) works out really well with me traveling while puking every 10 seconds. I can't say for sure, but I am PRETTY certain that the other travelers in business class are going to be SUPER glad they paid a lot to sit next to the likes of me.
Nick will get me settled in NC and then come back to Haiti rather quickly as we have this situation going on where we have 12 kids... (how did THAT happen?!?!?)
A few specific prayer requests:
- for the infection to clear up
- travel ease tomorrow. I've been pretty sick, so I don't imagine this will be great.
- easy diagnosis at the hospital
- financial provision (we have no health insurance, so I am hoping they skimp on the $10/pill Tylonel)
- our house (in Haiti) to run a few more days in our absence
We will try to keep you in the loop.
And just to expand on Nick's recent blog post, it's not that I don't *want* to be blogging lately-- it's just that everything comes out as a whine, and so I don't post it. Because yeah, who wants to listen to someone whine all the time? Not me.
So I will try to throw some awesome jokes and lovely photos in too in the midst of all my whining in the next few days. Because I ASSURE YOU, there WILL be whining.
Deal?
