| 1:30 and the 5 hr trek is just beginning, with sunset at 5:30! |
Last entry left 2 week old Miguel Angel just having begun recovery after a rough week. He continued to improve, mom Rosa very happily nursing him after her every 2 hr. pumping to build up her nonexistent milk supply on arrival. It had been hard for her to do so, not understanding the principle of milk production, and knowing her baby was dying. but she had trusted and done it- and got to see the fruits of her obedience- Miguel rapidly grew a second chin and fat thighs. We grinned each time we heard him having a tizzy- we couldn't get enough of him. Almost 2 weeks after that last entry, I had the privilege of driving Miguel plus his 3 yr old big sister who had also been admitted with pneumonia and diarrhea, and mom and dad to the start of the trail that would take them home. Know our nurse visitors, Lori and Amber, can't wait til next Sept. when they return, when we all plan a victory march up the mountain with a pinata for Miguel's first birthday.
Since our Jacksonville, OR trio left, our neighbors from Moses Lake, WA, Mike and Claudia, have also spent a week with us. Claudia left having made curtains for the children's center, and Mike did his normal "fix-everything" routine. We enjoyed the fellowship immensely!
