Updating What's Happening
First of all... my mom is out of the hospital. She went to the emergency room because the helper found her to be unresponsive and in a daze. She called Annie and they got mom to the ER. After a battery of tests, they found that it was a blood infection due to poor hygiene.
She now has a pic in her vein and each day a nurse will come to give her her antibiotics for the next two weeks.
I am trying to convince my mom to come. She said she doesn't want to come for so long. So I had another idea. How about if she just come for two months?
So, I spent another day looking at flight options. I emailed my siblings and I await their thoughts and then I'll call my mom again. Today I was on the phone with her for over an hour.
Please pray!
I don't know what will happen in the future. I know God is in control. He is trustworthy. I know it will be hard to have my mom here. It will be a 24/7 "job".

SeeSawing with the Elderly
After prayer, I had an idea.
Bring Mom back to Taiwan, just for a few months, so that my sister can have some rest.
While Mom was at the hospital, Daddy George wasn't asking for her every three seconds. Yeah!
While Mom was at the hospital, Daddy George's stomach seemed to be doing better. We know why because Mom is not around to use her hands to put food in his mouth or to touch his food. Yeah!
I called Mom and she said yes!!! Triple Yeah!
I was then on the internet looking at all the tickets and how to arrange the flights.
Why?
Because I had to look for a direct flight since Mom probably can't handle a long flight with a stopover. And it had to have a return flight that Alan can also get ticket for. This way she can be in the States from July to September and come back again with Alan in September.
Perfect! Found the flight and worked through the dates. Emailed my siblings! Yeah!
But I get a message from my sister -- Mom says NO -- when she went over there to talk to Mom!
What?!?!?!?!
Going to spend tomorrow in prayer!

Blessing A Dear Sister
Today was a day of parties.
For lunch, we had a group of 13 people with a couple of special guests -- Mark and Melinda Carlson. They are presently living in Thailand so we had Thai food!!! It was such a sweet time!
After church, we had a baby shower for Christina. She is having her third baby. She is the first in our church!!!

The joy and laughter flowed freely...
But the time was way too short...

My Wonderful Mommy Not Feeling Well
I got a message from today that my mommy was admitted to the ER with high fever, high blood pressure and being non-responsive.
After being given some strong antibiotics and my sweet sister staying with her at the hospital overnight, she woke up feeling better. But her fever still goes up and down. Even though they have given her a battery of tests, they still can't figure out what the problem is. Here is a picture of her after a night at the hospital.

Please keep her in your prayer. Please pray for my sister, too! She wasn't feeling well and now she's very exhausted.

Puzzling Over Storage Space
This morning I had to tackle trying to put away the luggage that Alan brought back and a bag of stuff animals that I cleaned out from Isaiah's top bunk.
Now, you might not know, but storage space here in the homes in Taiwan is very limited and difficult to come by. So, when we had our house remodeled, we made built in shelves in our living room.
The trick is to fit --
three suitcases
five carry-on
two radiator heaters
two folding tables
two full rolls of wrapping paper
one old typewriter
one fan
unused framed pictures
medical supplies
batteries
flashlights
packing tapes
sewing supplies
drums
amplifier
pillowcase filled with stuff animals
and other odds and ends (such as an exercise mat, heavy duty raincoats...)
Into this space.

It was like a puzzle. I had to take everything out to shuffle and reshuffle. I took a picture as I thought it will help you to 'get the picture'.
After about two hours, it was done. The doors closed and everything was in and I can open the doors without something falling on top of me!!!
