Erick came back to school today for the first time. Candido (his Daddy) showed me his ankle. Although there is still some swelling and an open wound it looks much better! They apparently decided it wasn't broken. Still by our North American standards it looks 'icky' but pain tolerance is so different here. Erick was grinning from ear to ear today with his familiar mischievous grin! I was thrilled & thankful to see it!
FYI - in other news the roads are staying blocked again. The town is out of gas which we need to finish the ceiling frame project. I know sounds crazy, but we do. Thad, Chad, Santiago and Franklin came so close to finishing the spraying today....they spray a bleach/diesel mixture on the wood to 'treat' it against pests. They had hoped to start getting it up this afternoon, but not sure when that will happen now. We'll see if the roadblocks effect our departure on Monday morning for Ceiba. Currently Emilson is stuck on the other side of the blocks actually. he had gone to La Ceiba to purchase and pick up the new computers for the school....and now can not get back to Trujillo. Sure can be inconvenient...but it's not much more than that. There's no violence or anything here just so you know...just blocked roads.
