Our Day

Well its been a heck of a day. It started off with having to give Mike and Jen's youngest child (Madi) Milk of Magnesia because she has not gone number 2 in at least 7 days. Not sounding so bad, except for the fact that she absolutely refused to take the medicine. So we had to call her doctor to see what we needed to do get her some much needed relief. The nurse said to give her a Suppository. Yes I (Jon) had to stick Fleet's Brand Glycerin Suppositories up a rear end while Joanna held her down....Not fun.... Anyway, it did the trick and boy did she go about an hour later. You don't know gross till you witness 7 days of backed up feces coming out at one time. I feel like I could live through anything now.

It wasn't but a little while later that we saw on national news that there was a horrible bus crash in south china killing 25 people. This was the mode of transportation Mike and Jen were taking to get to their next city. So needless to say we were a bit frantic trying to find out the details of the crash. Where it was...if it was on the same route they were taking etc..... Well, the crash ended up happening way farther west than where they were. That was a huge relief for us. But still we had no contact with them for over twelve hours, and after a nerve wracking thing like that happening all any of us wanted to do was hear there voice, and know that they made it safe. We heard from them around 1:00 P.M. our time, and they had made it safely to their new hotel and were doing fine. It was so good to hear their voice.

So between glycerin suppositories, diarrhea and Mike and Jen's bus ride, we have had a really exhausting day. But we are doing great and excited to see Mike and Jen on Saturday. All the kids can talk about is seeing their parents and their new sister Mei. I know Mike and Jen are really missing their kids here, and it will be a fun time at the airport when they all get to be with each other once again.

These literally are miracle pills for your butt...
I've never seen something work so fast.
