Dearest frineds and family,

It is our 43rd Wedding anniversary today!

We just got the MRI result today and my bleeding is completely gone!!!
But my doctor wants me to wait 40 days before I can fly.
So that means I will have to stay here at least 40 more days!!!

Now doctor will E-mail his suggestion to Doctor (Elder) Bingam. Then he will contact SL and they will tell us when I can go home!

I had a horroble headach today but knowing the I no longer have any more bleedin, I can relax!
Dr. Bingam thought I can fly right away so I was excited but no my Brasilian doctor!

At least I can see Tim and Jan who is arriving here on 2-29.
Well, this is the latest news and hope to see you soon.

I miss and love you.

Dearest freinds and family,

It is Monday and we were supporsed to get the result but we never got a hold of doctor!!!
I wish I know!!!

It is a cold day. They fixed our dryer finally so I did two loads of wash. So nice to have a dryer so that we don't have to hang dry them. Also they fixed our wall phone finally (It only works between apartment to apartment)

I did not go to the church yesterday!. On Saturday night, I could not sleep until 4:00am and my blood presure was so high. So Evan did not leave me alone at home so he missed going to church also.
Now my blood pressure is little high but not like the Saturday night.


I will let you guys know ASA I find out anything!

I really do miss and love you so much!

Dearest family and friends,

 Sorry for not writing you guys for long time.

I went to the Hospital yesterday for another MRI. If Doctor will not find any bleeding then our missionpresident will send us home. Evan is not happy about leaving but..... I can't handle being sick any longer. I was at the hospital from 12:00 til 4:00 and I was completely exhausted! I was even on the wheel chair and did not even walk!

This Sunday I am planning to our church for the Sacrament service. It has been so long since I took Sacrament and I miss that. We are going to take taxi to the church and will take a bus home. I hope I can walk down that steep hill to the bus station!

It has been so hot today. Can't wait to go home to the cold weather. Evan is not happy about that.

I am going to miss people in the office and sister missionaries. But.... Still it is ok for me to go back.

I miss and love you very much.

Dearest family and friends,

It was nice and cool and the weather is perfect. It rained heavily also and Evan got wet all over!!!

Our dryer is broken but one of the sister missionary came by and she took our wet clothes and dryed them for me.
Best part of this mission is that we meet so many wonderful senior missionary.
They are so sweet and so loving.

I can't beleave that I will be 66 tomorrow!!

Yes, I do feel old lately.
I cleaned my bathroom and swept the front room and I am so tired!!!!

I miss and love you so much!!!

Dearest friends and family,

I just got back from the doctor's appointment. Once again in one or two weeks , I have to go back to the hospital for another MRI to make sure the bleeding is completly stopped.

then he will let us know when if I can fly when. MRI shows no more bleeding...Unless bleeding is not there any more, then I can fly.

My blood presure was ;little hight and he thinks that is causing my headach. So I am on another new medicines. We take Blood Presure every day but it was always low.I guess I was streesed at the doctor's.

Looks like since Tim and Jen are coming, we will go back with Tim and Jen on -2-28 with Evan and me and them. So earliest we will be home would be 2-29. depends on the flight schedule.

Since I took new medicine, my headach is gone.

But I was so tired just going to the hospital.

 I really miss you guys and love you.

We are so excited for Tim and Jen are coming even hough I will not be able to do much.

Happy New Year.

Sorry for not writing for a few days. I just got back from the Hospital.
I was admitted to the Hospital for 4 days, because they found 2 small bleedings in my head.
So they wanted to perform so many tests and they all came back negative.
But the last weird Blog is one of the indications of a stroke.
I have to stay quiet for a week and I have 2 followup exams in the next 2 weeks.
At this point we don't know what is going to happen but Even thought I might go home but I cannot fly for 2 months, at least.

It was such a nice hospital and everybody was so nice. We had the best view of the city.
and it had air-conditioner!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank goodness it is cooler today.

Evan is going to work mostly at home this week because I cannot be left alone for very long this week.
One of the sister missionaries came for 2 hours today while Evan went to the office to get the things he can work on at home.
 And one of the missionary couples brought us dinner and a fruit platee.

And Danubia, our friend, cleaned up our apartment spotless. And she brought Punkin to the hospital!!!! I was so happy!!.
Yes, people are so wonderful.

We dont know what our plan is going to be. But the doctor's report will go to the Mission president then go to Salt Lake and Brother Nelson will decide on if I should come home or not.
It was such a good day today. Less headach and less nausia.

Evan got me a chir for the shower and I really like it.
I have to stay home this week but that is OK

I hope I did not make mistake today.

I miss and love you all!!!

Hiroko
