The neurologist said the MRI, etc shows that there is a water accumulation of water on Michelle's brain. He has no explanation so is taking a wait-and-see attitude.
We took 18 teenagers to have their measurements for school uniforms with the seamstress in San Lucas. Then we bought some of the text books for the four new children beginning in pre-med in January. They are Candida, Jose Cu, Carlos Anolfo & Marlin. As happens every year we could not find all of the texts at the only 3 places where those medical texts are sold. "Maybe in December" was the standard answer at each place.
The government announced that food was going to continue to rise in prices. Yesterday the 18 wheelers crossing the border at Tecun Aman blocked the highway to keep people from crossing the border as a protest against the increase in taxes.
Yesterday was a wonderful surprise as when we went to the Children's Musuem as it was absolutely loaded with 'hands on' opportunities for the children. The children were able to recycle paper themselves, take x-rays and study them & health care; a parachute jump where they were harnessed in & "flew"; there was a hot air balloon they were able to cause to rise into the air; there was a earthquake machine where they experienced a 5.5 tremor and saw how archetechs made adjustments to allow for the building to sway; there were dozens of educational games; a story-telling room that captivated the children. There was so much there that the 4 hours went pretty quickly. Jack, Tim, Renee and I had as much fun as the kids. Then we took those 42 out to dinner. It was a full day.
Also I got my new false tooth so I look like Robert Redford. However, have you seen him since he turned 80?
