Keeping Busy

Hello Everyone,

Josiah made it to Kelowna safe and sound, I was a little worried for a while. He was having a few challenges with his car but now it is running great, we are so thankful for the great deal we got on it.

Joel called the other day and he is doing great. He got a new job and is very happy to have it. Rachelle handed in her 2 week notice for the Child Development Center and has some resumes out. She should be hearing soon as to which job she has.

My work at the school remains interesting. I took my first aid course on Oct.19 (Fri), and the next Mon. I was already practicing. The grade7 students had immunizations that morning and one of the girls fainted and had a seizer, so I had to deal with it. Then, another girl fainted, in the same class!! There were a number of kids that got sick so we called the health nurse to come back and they did. The next day ,one of the maintance men had a pipe hit him in the mouth and cut his lip open, so I was called in again! I put on the rubber gloves, checked out the wound and covered it to make sure it stayed clean while he went to emergency to get stitches. Yesterday, I had a little boy come in with his wrist all deformed, I iced it and put a sling on and called the mother, definately broken. He is now in Kamloops getting surgery on it, it was a pretty bad break. So, I guess you can say that I have been using my first aid regularly, lol!

This Sat. is the YFC annual fundraising banquet. It will not be easy for our family but we will get through it. I still have a hard time waking up, looking over at Tim's spot and not having him there. At night, I feel the same emptiness. It just doesn't seem right that he's not there. Sometimes I just lay there and cry for a while, or think about him and some of the thing he would say. I can't seem to sleep on "his" side, maybe one day I will.

Thanks for your prayers. Blessings to you all, Esther
