Bits and Bites....



Today we, MAF Sentani, celebrated 1 year of accident-free flying. We know that this is a gift from God and for that gift we are thankful. So we had a lunch with all the national workers and pilots/mechanics/teachers etc... and their spouses. After a couple short speeches, we dove into the food. It was a sea of light blue with dark blue. All MAF national workers just got new uniforms. I feel very bad for them because they are all polyester... sweat-inducing stuff... Thankfully, Hugo can wear his own "uniform" which is 100% cotton...
There's Mikah playing the saxophone. She's able to make notes so she's off to a good start!
Marc and Brynne like to listen to audio books on my Mp4 player...
*Ice is sick again. I started her on meds right away so we nipped things in the bud a bit and the pain isn't so bad as it was a couple weeks ago. However, the expat doctor here feels that there is a good possibility that there is something else besides PID going on. So I've been trying to track down an OBGYN for her to see.... I feel a sense of helplessness and hopelessness. I just wish I could take her to a doctor and know that she would get good care and that they would take the time to get an accurate diagnosis. But the system here is terrible. There are too few doctors and too many patients meaning no one patient gets much attention. Never mind that the education for doctors in this country is much lower than in the West.
