March 2, 2011 - Never a Dull Moment

Just received word that Ferd's mom was bit by a snake and had to be rushed down here to the hospital. They live WAY back up in the boonies, I am talking jungle all the way! She was getting fire wood to cook since they cook outside and when she lifted the wood, the snake jumped out and bit her on the foot. Needless to say, we are all shook up and are waiting to hear from the dr. The fact that she is still alive and not swollen up, we are pretty assured that the snake wasn't poisonous. But, the dr will will keep her overnight for observation. I am not kidding, each and every day of my life here is something crazy like this!!
