THURSDAY JULY 13

Scott and Mom came over to talk to the doctor before breakfast. Angel was hooked up to all kinds of monitors and there were 3 bags hanging. The doctor said Angel was still sleep peacefully and everything is looking good. She said her system is overloaded. So what we are going to do is wean the little boy off breastfeeding. We are going to have Angel eat every two hours. Instead of a 16 ounce smoothie it will be 8 ounces. Small meals. She told Scott cut her pills in half and give her half every four hours. She looked at Scott and asked if he could get something good for her to eat every two hours and he said yes. She said, we don’t want her to stop getting exercise so if she goes to class and then goes for a swim in the morning, she should take a nap in the afternoon. When the kids go to bed at night she goes to bed even if she is not tired. Tell her to just rest. When she quits breast feed that will take a big load off the system. Scott and Mom said they could see she gets on that schedule. The doctor said to Scott when she wakes up I will let you know if you have other things. Mom asked why this is happening and the doctor said we don’t know but we believe we can get it under control. On the way back to the table Scott said he was going to teach Hunter to swim really well so no one would worry about her. Mom said, thankyou. Scott didn’t realize Hunter had him wrapped around her little finger. Angel slept all day so Scott just checked on her in the evening.

This morning it had been a week since they arrived at the monastery and there were only 8 people. It was another day of drills and competition. In the after noon they put everyone again in two lines. After dinner the Master monk came up to Matthew and Jean. He said he had told the highest Shaolin Master monk who lived in a monastery in the clouds about them and he was coming tomorrow to check them out. He had not seen anyone as fast as Matthew in years and Jean’s smooth controlled delivery was like art. Matthew went back to their room at night talking about the monk who was coming tomorrow.
