Noah is not fond of having his picture taken in general and he's trying to avoid me here. The dhow we took out snorkeling is in the background. Another cultural note--on the 2nd day there were 25 people on board with 5 kids under the age of 5. Guess who were the only kids in lifejackets? Yep--the Yanks! Does that say something about me, or Americans, or Europeans?
As for Noah--whether it was the prayers, the antibiotics, the antibiotic soap, or the constant soaking in the salt water for 3 days--but his boils are gone. The big one is healing nicely and the up and coming ones just went away! The one on my back is also healing nicely. Thank you for all your kind words and prayers. It was really an unpleasant event in his (our) lives and one we hope won't be repeated!
Some of you may have also heard that Mark was also sick this past week with some type of stomach amoeba. He's also recovered. I guess I neglected to mention he was sick when we asked for prayers for Noah! He's a very healthy guy in general but stress in his life manifests itself in physical ailments. I think we are all susceptible right now to bugs and things that are new in our environment. Also, even on great days, we are still under stress while we continue this transition so that makes us susceptible as well.
The kids head back to school on Wednesday so I'll be able to get some more work done with developing a staff handbook and ongoing household things. Look for more pics on the school construction this week as well. Our new car gives us more confidence as we make the trip out to the school site during this rainy season. Roadwork will become a necessity!

I'm SO glad to hear those boils are gone.
You're not kidding! Here's hoping that was some medical aberration for our family. Ick.
