Drying Jeff's toes

Yes! that would be my job these past couple of days, unfortunately for me-But really for Jeff. His back has continued to worsen and he was unable to go to his job @ SALI this am. We were in the living room this am around 8:00 trying to figure out what todo for him(meds, massage, hot tub,etc.) and realizing that navigating all this was feeling very overwhelming. We were both missing the amazing convieniences of being in your hometown. But just then the phone rang. It was Sandi Smith(Perumission mom) calling to invite us to lunch on Fri. Jeff told her a/b his back and that he wanted to go to P.T. It just so happens that Sandi broke her knee cap here in Trujillo and had to go to P.T. herself. She highly recommended this clinic which is also very nearby our neighborhood. She called the clinic to get him an appt. and went w/ him in the taxi @ noon today. He has not returned yet, but hopefully that means he is getting lots of attention and care. My sister, Kristin, also helped us via phone and e-mail to suggest certain meds for Jeff. Thank you, Dear Father, for caring for us. Thank you family and friends also! I'll keep you posted. Love, Amy and Kate
