they shall mount up with wings as eagles;
they shall run and not be weary;
and they shall walk, and not faint."

For if they fall, the one will lift up the other: but woe to him that is alone when he falleth;
for he hath not another to help him up." ~Ecclesiastes 4:9-10
Thanks everyone for lifting us up.

Wynn's Foot Report: Infection diminishing, antibiotics being taken, however we are having much trouble filling the tetanus shot prescription quickly.
(Note to remove excess concern: color of foot affected by Betadine)
so, when's the next work day?
ReplyDelete~laforest Family
I plan to work over there Wednesday at least some in the afternoon and probably more on Thursday unless Wynn's health issues interfere like they did yesterday (He had an allergic reaction to the antibiotic). Seth is overwhelmed with his college class assignments as is Micah so they can't help too much in the next two days. We missed seeing you at the Walk.
ReplyDeleteI missed being there.
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty sure that we can't be there this week but if you could keep us updated as to when you will be there in advance that would be awsome!
We're praying for Wynn.
ReplyDeleteRobin
Thanks so much Robin.
ReplyDeleteSeveral of us are headed over to work at the property right now and probably tomorrow as well. Yesterday we were still unearthing photos - as for an official work party none are currently planned, but if we get organized enough to plan one we will post it.
