Howde Body? (Krio greeting, how are you?)

Hi All,

Been thinking of you lots. My typhoid and malaria are finally on the mend. It has been a long two weeks. I reacted to some of the meds I was taking so had to change meds a couple times. (nothing new for me, my body doesn't like meds, never has) I went to another doctor yesterday and got perscriptions to rebuild and strengthen my blood and body. I have been so week this past week, it was a bit scarry, but knowing there are always people here with me and the doctors are good and close by I was never too worried. Dennis and Shelby were able to cover most of my studies. The kids are doing well, Hunter had Malaria last week but being a strong little guy he pulled through fast after taking the first meds. For myself I reacted to the first two meds and by the time I started the third I really was needing to detox from the too much med. That is what I am doing now, just mending and getting stronger.

A big thankyou to the ones who have been emailing Shelby and Lorelle. We now have internet access at the house so they are able to go on at times when you also may be on, it is great to be able to email back and forth like conversation.

We are looking into getting one of the "eye cams" for the computer so maybe we can email and you can see us.

Hunter is here with me today and would like to send a message :)

Hi Guys,
I have poptarts in America and Africa. Macaroni and cheese, too. We have popsicle sticks too, like the icecream truck at the beach in America. I love you guys. Did you ever read Little Mr. or Little Miss books? I like them the best. I like you all very much. I love American food. We used to eat hamburgers and chicken nuggets at Burger King, they had a place to play. I love the beach here, River Number 2, we call it the ocean. I can swim without floats, I try to stop waves, but they keep getting near. I like our house here, we live right here, at Mommy Samura's, she is our landlord. Behind this house is Aunty Bolas House, Inny and Isreal are her family they are 6 and 8.

( he says he wants to do a sign language "good bye" :)


I am so glad we have this avenue of communication.
Love to all, keep warm New Englander's :)
Lorie
