PRAISE !!!!
The hospital was able to do direct billing to our health insurance provider. This is a huge praise item because EVERY time we have gone to the Hospital/doctors here in Mexico we have to pay out of pocket and wait to get reimbursed. This has left us really short a few times. Can you imagine the cost for an emergency room visit in the States?
Mike said after we spoke and prayed last night the drowning panicky feeling left him . When he laid down to rest he started coughing uncontrolable again.
They hooked him up to a nebulizor and his coughing became more uhhh... productive.
The x-ray didn't show pneumonia . Praise God !
He was relived with a prescription for a puffer, antibiotics and something else.
He was at the hospital all night and wasn't sure it he was going to go to class then sleep in the afternoon or sleep first and go to the afternoon class. Long night.
Mike comes home on Thursday the 28th.
PRAY
Please continue to pray about our mold situation here.
For a month now Mike and I have been sleeping in the living room as our bedroom has been leaking and is very moldy. A supporter offered to help pay for the necessary repairs..so far so good..
Mike did some research and found out about a sealant for this purpose. It's a rubber type paint that fills in the cracks, contracts and expands with the temperature. Once the outside is sealed we can work on the inside to remove and replace the panel board.
My land lady doesn't want to use this sealant (even if we pay for it and do it ourselves). She has hired someone to paint on something else. It rained a few days ago and the bedroom is still leaking with no improvement.
She doesn't want us to replace the carpet which I'm sure is full of mold spores particularly where it meets the wall. The other concern is what would we find under the carpet. This is an old trailer with sinky spots in the floor.
I'm wondering if we may have to move.
Now before you stand and cheer, "You go Girl ! " let me explain.
1) most of the houses here are concrete which are notorious for mold, much colder in the winter (our friends could SEE THEIR BREATH INSIDE their house) , and hotter in the summer.
2) we live in a good neighborhood.
That means my kids can play outside and I'm not terrified they will be kidnapped .
Google the news for this area, the drug lords are having it out with the good Police and there is a very serious military presence with loaded, pionting Guns. Just being white here makes you a huge target for crime.(..I'm ranting...sorry)
- the rent is affordable
-the view is beautiful
- I've made friends with 2 neighbors who want to practice English and they help me with my Spanish. They have been WONDERFUL company since Mike's been away. They are an answer to prayer in so many ways..
In Conclusion
Please pray for us. I'm feeling overwhelmed .
Thank you for listening and praying.
