Great news! Today we received our first and very generous donation from John's good friend Brendan. We really appreciate the support and are happy that our fundraising is off to a fantastic start.
Not so great news. Another Wednesday, another two shots. Today was the last of the rabies and some typhoid too. The doctor had a good laugh when I asked if it was ok that my arm was still sore from the Hepatitis A and B I got last Wednesday. He actually said that was fantastic news because my body was producing lots of antibodies. Woohoo! I didn't think it was so fantastic to add another shot to my still sore shoulder, but at least the doctor was enthusiastic.
The shots were followed by a lovely chicken burrito, so I can't complain. When I think of all of the amazing work John and I will be doing in Cambodia, a sore shoulder (or two) is just a tiny inconvenience. We will make wheelchairs for people who currently have no way to get around. When I think of those individuals who have been permanently injured due to landmines or polio, I'm happy to stick my arm out to the doctor and say, "I'll take another shot, please!"

"Humanitarian" isn't a term usually associated with TeamStaton. Must have been a gene mutation. Seriously, we are so incredibly proud of you & John, and are in awe that you're taking time out of your lives to do something so noble. Maybe when your mom & I grow up we can aspire to be like you two. But all those shots? Wow---maybe we can volunteer in, uh, Hawaii. Much love, Dad
what an interesting combination...shots and burritos. Dad, I can't think of 2 things more distant from your world - shots every week and volunteering!
Glad the preparations are going well Age!
