| Feisty Level Almost Back to Normal |
The very best news possible came out
last evening with our nightly FaceTime call to our Favorite Son. The BRS is
finally on the mend after battling a nasty cold over the past week. She was
back to cooing and crawling at nearly her normal rate which was great news for
some anxious grandparents, not to mention my son and the ABFA. The ABFA’s mom
had been on station for a couple days providing the needed support. I commiserated
with my son because having a sick baby is about the worst feeling in the world in terms of frustration and feeling of
helplessness as he most vulnerable family member is suffering. My Favorite Panamanian
has been in turmoil all week thinking about the BRS and remembering what it was
like when one of ours was sick at the same age. The only downside for my son
was the BRS no longer wanted to snuggle as much as she did when she was feeling
bad.

| We have Windows! |
 |
| And Doors |
Of course my wife was dealing with her
own challenges yesterday since the cold I bestowed upon her last week had
morphed to full blown pneumonia with her frantic travels over the past week.
The doctor advised rest and anti-biotics. The rest part will be the hardest to
enforce since her mind is going a thousand miles an hour now that the
renovation project is reaching its final stages.

| Progress |
A couple doors went up yesterday as
well as all the windows which made a huge difference. The roof was finished
which was excellent timing along with the windows since the remnants of
Hurricane Michael are passing over us today. Hopefully the plumber will be on
station next week to rough in the bathroom and heating systems and we can enter
the finish work stage.
