A SHORT Update!

Hi there everyone…

I just wanted to write a very quick note to give you a small update on a few things…

1.      I’m now the only ME in Bolivia!  Yeah!!!!  After about half a dozen visits to the Identification place, the other “me” was erased… and before I knew what was happening,   (with Marlee pulling at the cords of their computers and Keiden picking up all the stray staples on the floor), they took my pictures, finger prints for my ID card (others were signing up for their pictures etc for the end of March!!!) Thank you God!!! I was in such shock I didn’t even ask to look at the information to see if it was right… and they say by Wednesday or Thursday I should be able to pick up my ID card… (others have to wait 2 weeks!) Please pray that everything will be correct… and I’ll be able to get all the other pending paperwork done quickly…

…and then the nurse came in to change Marco’s IV fluids…

…so much for the date night…

Yes… in the end Marco got his gallbladder operated on…  almost two weeks ago now… He had two quite large stones… and at the same time, he had a keloid removed – a weird growing scar (the doctor called it a benign tumor) that was causing him a lot of discomfort…  A skin graft was required… so he is still all bandaged up and he needs to be careful for about a month…
