As you may know from earlier reports, Claudia flew to Costa Rica on Sunday and started a week of intensive work on her teeth yesterday. The original plan was for four crowns in three days and return on Thursday. It became apparent yesterday that that’s not going to be the case as they began a root canal but quickly decided to refer her to a specialist starting tomorrow to complete it. Thankfully the crowns have diminished by one, but with the delay due to the root canal the earliest it appears she will be able to fly back would be Saturday. One problem, there are no Spirit Air flights on weekends! So now we’re looking at a possible Monday return. Thankfully she is staying with two wonderful LAM missionaries and has made various other friends (including a Chilean neighbor who made her cheese empanadas on Monday!) Please keep her in your prayers as this is a painful process but one we hope will take care of various problems for years to come.
As for daddy and the boys, I am using up various flex days to be home with them, but it may come to some juggling by weeks end or Monday if it gets pushed that far out. The first 2 ½ days have gone well. Monday they got to celebrate a friend’s birthday party at Chuck E. Cheeses and I was at the office. They had a blast although it may take the birthday parents a little longer to recover. I’m familiarizing myself with the week-day meals, chores, home school, piano lessons, etc routine which I helped Claudia put together on paper, but had never actually walked it through prior to this. All I can say is that my wife is a saint (and I want her back!). Jeremy, Nicholas and I are enjoying the time together and they ask me each morning if it’s “church day” because weekends are the only time I’m home two days in a row.
OK, I’ve got to hit the sack before I fall asleep on the keyboard. Please continue praying for Chile, for Claudia’s dental work and for the boys and I as we try to make it through this week without mommy’s amazing care for each of us.
God bless!
