As many of you know from my horse jail break post, the Producers have been dealing with some kind of stomach illness. The Exec Producer is better but our little Associate Producer was very sick last night from dehydration. We checked into the emergency room around 530P and were admitted around 11P. Jack got an IV in his scalp (watching a nurse do that tests the parenting nerves) and seems to be doing much better. He has been soaking up much needed sleep. I’m writing to update you all, as I always cherish your encouragement, but also to thank you for your generosity. When I was fired by Washington’s Dept of Natural Resources over my podcast, we lost our health insurance. Because of the support I receive here on Locals, we were able to join a cost-sharing ministry that paid for the entirety of Jack’s birth and will once again cover significant medical bills. I often say “thanks for your generosity” without naming what that really means - so please take this message as my most heartfelt gratitude that we can focus on Jack’s recovery without being concerned about how we will pay. God bless and see you soon.
