It's Saturday afternoon here and Shawna is finally feeling like herself again (crossing fingers my words don't jinx her).

The nurses' dinner was canceled last night, but we did manage to take Tony (PT) and Faby (OT) out for dinner. There will be no time left to take all of the nurses, so we are really disappointed that we didn't get the chance to thank them on a personal level.

Ty, Renee and Mark will leave us on Monday; Blake and Jeremy on Tuesday; and we leave on Wednesday. Once we all clear out, there will be only a couple of Americans left here (Jack/Doreen and Glenn), but they leave the following week ... 12th and 13th. Our prayers will still be here with them.

The Internet has been down for the last day and a half ... seems to go down quite a bit. If the Internet isn't down, my computer is and I have to wipe it clean and start over. It's been a real workout just trying to stay in touch while we were here, but it's almost over now; can't wait!
