Thank you for your prayerful and financial support and your patience as we try to move into the blogging world again. \u00a0Our first blog worked very well as we prepared for our Home Assignment in Minnesota. \u00a0We trust we can utilize this mode of communication with our partners in ministry on a more consistent basis.<\/p>\n

BIG NEWS – 2 for 1 at the doctor!<\/strong><\/p>\n

After a few days of Jonathan complaining about stomach pain, which is, \u00a0not uncommon here in Mexico City, his condition seemed to be getting worse than better, so we asked our pediatrician to see him. \u00a0After the meds were not effective, she asked for an x-ray of the abdominal area. \u00a0A few before Jonathan also complained about pain in his foot \/ heel. \u00a0Since his heel pain had not gone away, she xrayed that too! \u00a0The result … Jonathan has a case of colitis and tendonitis. \u00a0His foot is now immobilized (not exactly a cast) for two weeks, and he has to use crutches to get around. \u00a0The initial joy has worn off but he has been a trooper going up and down the steps at school and at home, getting faster each day! \u00a0The shocker of it all, since our pediatrician works at a government hospital, the total bill for doctor consultation, 2 x-rays and the half-cast was 200 pesos or $16 dollars! \u00a0We thank God that we could get good medical care of Jonathan. \u00a0He is taking meds for the colitis condition and we are working on ways to reduces his stress levels at home and at school, since stress can \u00a0worsen the condition.<\/p>\n

NALA GOES TO THE VET!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Just before Jonathan’s emergency, we had an emergency with our dog, Nala. \u00a0We noticed that she was quite lethargic and took her to the vet. \u00a0She had a fever and the meds rejuvenated her for one day. \u00a0However the next day she returned to her lethargic state so we took her back to the vet. \u00a0He gaves some different meds and hope she would get better. \u00a0She did not, so we went for an X-ray. \u00a0After seeing the X-ray, the vet determined that surgery was necessary. \u00a0The found a huge infection in her reproductive system which needed to be removed. \u00a0She was home the same day and is making a full recovery! \u00a0Since she can not lick her stitches, she has to wear a cone around her head for two weeks!<\/p>\n

CAN’T WAIT FOR JULY 5th<\/strong><\/p>\n

The boys can hardly wait for the school year to be over! \u00a0Mexico has one of the longest school years in the world! \u00a0Zachary will graduate from Junior High (actually 9th grade) on July 5th. \u00a0He is officially registered to attend the High School associated with the Universidad InterContinental which will begin August 12th. \u00a0We ask for your prayers that Zachary can have a good transition to High School. \u00a0Jonathan will finish fifth grade and looks forward to completing Workshop 2 in the Montessori system, which has students in 4-6 grade in one room, next year. \u00a0His last day is July 5th as well. \u00a0 \u00a0Pray for us as parents in the final weeks of school as projects are due and tests are prepared for and taken. \u00a0We will be ready for summer too!<\/p>\n

GOING UP NORTH<\/strong><\/p>\n

Last year we got bumped returning to Mexico after a family gathering in Kansas. \u00a0The result was an extra night in Atlanta, Georgia and generous travel vouchers for future travel. \u00a0So this summer we go back to the U.S., this time to Minnesota so we can be with friends and family there. \u00a0Grandpa and Grandma are excited to see us! \u00a0We look forward to our time away, being with family, seeing friends and people who pray for us, as well as swatting a few mosquitoes. \u00a0The boys are hoping we get bumped again!<\/p>\n
