Safe and Sound

This morning I talked with Japheth again.  I am so pleased with the phone connection when he calls.  Other times when we have called from here there is this lag and it is a bit confusing and hard to converse very well.  But the two times that he has called it sounds clearer and nearer than when he calls me from his cell phone here close at home!  Before he left he had purchased a calling card that you actually call someplace in England or Britain and they call Thailand something like a conference call and it is only fourteen cents a minute . . .LOTS better than two dollars and twenty cents that the motel wanted to charge them to use the phone there!  Anyway, I was thrilled to be able to hear them safe and sound  and getting caught up on their sleep.

Japheth said that Wayne has done so well sleeping and being happy.  He has become very clingy though, which is to be expected considering being away from home and Mom and in the midst of all those “crazy noises and sights.  

They have seen the resident doctor . . . she wants the specialist to do the surgery (and so do we).  He comes to this hospital on Mondays and Wednesdays.  So Monday they will see him and then the surgery is planned for Wednesday, which would be our Tuesday night.  They are about thirteen hours ahead of us.  Like this morning when Japheth called I got to hear about his Friday.  And they are ready to hit the sack.  Jet lag is going pretty well.

Tomorrow they plan to go to the safari.
