Ok, so once the tribal guys arrived and saw the picture of the baby snake, they said it IS a python after all, not poisonous. YEAH!!! Amazing how innocuous a python in your ceiling can seem after you have thought it was a poisonous snake for a few days. :) They made a thorough search of the attic and never did find it, but they sealed up the holes to the attic so it can't get back in. They figure the babies have all found other ways out of the attic to the outside - those 2 unlucky ones just happened to find ways into the house instead of outside. Anyway, so it seems like the snake issue is resolved for the meantime - thanks for praying!

Ben's stomach problems had thankfully cleared up by the next am, but his ear has continued to bother him (he has been on antibiotics for an infection for a week now). Then this am, he had some blood coming out of his ear. We took him to an ENT in Naga (about an hour away) and found out that his eardrum had ruptured in the night! Poor little guy. It should heal on its own, we just need to continue the antibiotics for another 10 days and make sure no water gets in his ear for a while.

Despite his ear pain, Ben has been a little trooper this week and put in a LOT of intensive therapy hours with Jennifer. He has been making progress, and we are encouraged in a lot of ways but realize too that we have a LONG road ahead. We appreciate your prayers as we continue to work this week and figure out how we can best help him ourselves once Jennifer leaves.

Glad to hear the snakes are gone and weren't poisonous! Hope Ben's ear starts feeling better...I know that is NOT fun. And hope the therapy continues to go well and that you will be encouraged with lots of ideas!!
Whew! So relieved to hear it was JUST A PYTHON!!! :) So glad it is all sealed up now and you can "rest easy".
Give Benny a kiss for Grandma J! He's being such a brave boy and working so hard.
Love you all.
Hey Jen....your family definitely wins the "Never a Dull Moment of the Year" award. We will pray that things get back to normal...routines, health, and hopefully no more slithering critters. That gave me the eebie-jeebies just reading about it. Been missing ya!!! Connie
