Update On My Host Mother

            Here’s an update on Gleys, my host mother.  Since being admitted to the hospital last week and given two pints of blood and a 6 hour drip of iron, Gleys has recovered very quickly.  They let her go home the next day and told her to get lots of rest.  She’s been going to bed before 10pm every night and sleeping in until at least 10am the next day.  I asked her how she felt yesterday and she told me that she’s really sleepy in the morning but the rest of the day she’s fine.  She did, however, tell me that she had a moment of tiredness and soreness during the afternoon yesterday where she just wanted to lie down and sleep.  But she only felt that way for a few minutes.  She has been making dinner, driving, singing, etc.  In short, she’s better.  Thank you everyone for your prayers.  My host family greatly appreciated them and so did I.

I know this picture has nothing to do with the blog entry above but I'm going to place it here nevertheless.  I'm giving the monkey a flower.  He ate it.
