Day Three: Survived

Thanks everyone for your prayers and encouraging comments.

I did get to talk to Brian today. Unfortunately, as soon as I heard his voice on the phone, I started crying, so of course, he thought something was wrong. I was eventually able to explain that we were ok. Jonathan had not been feeling well all day (asthma + allergies is a bad mix), and that had pretty much stressed me out. Brian confirmed that I needed to start him on the steroids the doctor gave him last week, and he is already doing much better. I still put him to bed early, because he's so tired from trying to breathe all day, but he is obviously doing better. I can hear him talking/singing to himself right now. :) Including a sing-song, "da-da," which I can only assume means that he loves and misses his Daddy.

Brian said they put in a hard day of manual labor today. Specifically digging holes. Haha, apparently he's doomed to dig holes on mission trips. (that's what we did the whole time we were in Peru two springs ago) Thankfully, no one has fallen in any of the holes yet! ;)

Just for fun, here's photos of our last hole-digging experience:

Hey Janelle! I'm so glad you heard from Brian! I totally understand how you feel, and I'm sorry you are feeling lonely. Remember to call on friends! Friends make things so much better!
Miss you guys, and remember Brian will be back soon :)
