Sylvia from Airport in Germany

I got this email from Syl and wanted to post it here…

Mike and Mindi,

I called your house yesterday to give you a phone number. I was happy and hopeful when I found out that Stratton was doing child care while you were at the hospital. I hope that there is a new little Jentes for us to thank God for. If not, we’ll still keep praying that there will be an early release from the womb.

I’m in the Frankfurt airport waiting for my flight to Prague. I’m checking my email and it’s interesting navigating the German version of AOL. The screens look similar, but it sure was hard getting to the email screen. Oh well, time I have.

I talked to my sister yesterday and she’s improving. They took the intravenous thing out of her so now she can experiment with what to eat. It’s been 10 days since she had anything but an IV drip to sustain her. She’s hungry! That’s a good thing. They still aren’t talking about discharging her, but I hope that I’ll be able to talk with her today when I get to Prague and hear more good news of her recovery.

I pray that all is well with you. God bless you both and all the little Jenteses whether they be three or four in number.

Love ya,

Syl

Totzke Prayer Communique

Dear Friends,

As of today, we’re not sure what email address will work when we’re in Prague. Larry has tried to use wideopenwest and also this aol address that we got when we got our laptop (you know, 6 free months of aol but you can’t use the current account you have). Neither one of them has been successful yet but he’s still working on it from his end. He does have email access through the Swain account and a Czech cell phone Randall Wood from Dublin Baptist Church lent us. We’ll keep you posted on the email access.

I’m in Seattle and will leave tomorrow. My sister Lin is still in the hospital. Her intestines have started to wake up but not to the extent that she can come home. Our mom is here now and will take over for me. Today they hope to put her on liquids. She hadn’t had even a drink of water until yesterday. It’s been a good time for us to be together although I wish it weren’t under these circumstances, although God is teaching us a great deal about the many facets that love is. For that I’m eternally thankful. Thank you for praying for me about how good a caregiver I will be to my sister. She’s says I’m a good caregiver, but that won’t make me rush off to nursing school.

To read more about Larry’s trip to Prague, you can go to the quest blog at http://www.thequestcolumbus.com/blog.html. It was an adventure!

I wanted to send this out today to make sure that I have all of your addresses correct before I take off tomorrow. God bless you all.

Sylvia and Larry
