Safely back home!

Thanks so much for your prayers as we travelled.  We had a delightful time with a small “blip” along the way.  I picked up some sort of “bug” and was bothered with chills and a temperature so they put me on an antibiotic on the ship.  Apparently I became dehydrated and suddenly lost consciousness heading for my stateroom.  I was transported to the on-board medical center and given IV’s, lacking any memory of the whole event.  I could write several pages about the events and miracles that were orchestrated by the Lord.  Thankfully I am now home, very weak, but slowly recovering.  If you are interested in more details, let me know.

We stopped at eight ports but I decided to stay on board at one of them in the West Indies, and it was fortunate that I did.  It could have been very serious if I had collapsed on the streets there.  I was sent by ambulance to the local hospital for additional tests but after over three hours I “discharged” myself and got back to the ship.  It would not have been a good experience to stay there!

Each of the ports with one exception, were deep water so we could dock directly at the pier as you can see above, making it very convenient to spend as much time as we wished on shore.  Each port differed from the others and it was interesting to learn a bit about their history and people.

I am getting great care here back in the village and I am certain that I will be 100% very soon.  Thanks so much for your concern, prayers and encouraging messages.

Love to all,

Chuck
