Hi. It has been a busy week. As of Friday, we have been back from the States one week. We are slowly getting back to Ghana time (5 hours ahead of Central Standard time). On Tuesday Abigail's leg was set. Then a cast was put on her leg. She will wear it for about 6 weeks. We have been praying for her leg. She now asks us to pray. While she was still in some pain, she would say, "Mommy pray. Ouchy bye bye. Abigail walk." Now she is not in much pain, it seems. We carry her everywhere. (It would be kind of hard for her to use crutches as a two year old!) She's hanging in there.

Annaleigh and Colt are doing well. Everyone is growing up so quickly. Colt certainly enjoyed his time in the States, as did we all. I am still in the process of thanking everyone for the wonderful gifts we have been given both in February, as well as in March. It is so nice to be remembered by you all.

Our Mac laptop cord went out. We are hoping to get another one soon. In the meantime, emailing is not quite as convenient. We are able to have internet in the living room and eating area now. So that is really nice to have.

Dear friends of ours-John, Nancy, and Frank Cargile arrive here tomorrow. It will be so nice to have them. John, a general surgeon where we live in San Angelo, has many cases lined up for him at the hospital.

I wanted to give a short update on life. Thanks, as always, for your interest and your prayers. We always enjoy hearing from you and knowing how we can pray for you, as well.

Back in Nalerigu/Abigail's Leg

We are back in Nalerigu as of this morning. We were able to attend my grandmother's funeral while there. (My dad's mom passes away a few days before we got there.) Joel also had diagnostic tests run for the kidney stone. It had passed-thank you, Lord. I got to celebrate my 40th birthday while in Texas, which was so nice. It was great to see so many of you while we were home.

We had a layover in Amsterdam yesterday. Abigail fell from some play equipment while playing in the children's area. We then got on the plane for another 8-9 hour flight to Accra, Ghana. Once we landed in Accra, we realized that Abigail had likely broken her leg. We took one x-ray last night while in Accra. We were hoping it would not be bad enough for me to need to return to the States with the children for her to have surgery. The x-ray of the upper leg showed no break. But she still would not put weight on it, did not want to eat much at all, and had swelling in her leg.

Once we arrived back here in Nalerigu this morning, Joel did another x-ray. There is a small fracture an inch or so above her left ankle. She is in pain, though the Tylenol is helping. She's just not herself.
