So, last Monday I left my poor little sick Luke with his mommy and brother, Will, and caught the train to the Frankfurt airport from Idar Oberstein. Mindy's neighbor, Jean, so graciously drove me to Idar so Mindy would not have to take the boys out so early. I arrived home Monday night at 9:00pm and went back to work on Tuesday morning. I felt terrible leaving Mindy and the boys and in one week's time, Luke was sick again and then Mindy was sick with the stomach flu yesterday. I went back over her blogs since February and one of them has been sick every other week. It's crazy- especially when they don't have adequate health care on their post. They either have to drive to Landstuhl-45 minute drive away and wait for hours in a ER, or go to the German hospital which is about 5 minutes away and usually be seen immediately. The clinics on post can't see anyone without an appointment. Needless to say, this mother is not pleased with how the military is taking care of the families of our deployed soldiers! I won't use this blog to list all my complaints but you can imagine I have a few concerns.
Last week has been very busy. Steve is remodelling Randy and Jamie's bathroom so the kids moved in with us Tuesday night and Steve has been over there working as often as he could. Friday night we had a small party/ cookout to celebrate Randy's birthday. We had a great time!
Not much else is happening at Shad Point- hopefully their bathroom will be completed in the next couple weeks. I am enjoying having them around but I'm sure Jamie doesn't want it to go on too much longer- she doesn't want Randy's mom to spoil him more than he already is!
Please enjoy a few pictures:
