cold swim

this morning i got up right in the brisk and went for a swim in the lake. it was 44 degs outside. bad idea. it was good to get my exercise, but my head froze under the water. it was a cold swim.

i went to see the boy again. he's sick as hell. its really sad. today he had a bit of a seizure and smashed his head on the wall. he was bleeding. when i got there to deliver a desk they asked me to go see him. he was in pretty poor shape. he's usually responsive to people being in his room, but he was pretty out of it today. the nasty mat he sleeps on doesn't do much for healing wounds, so a girl with me went to get some med supplies. i patched him up as best i could with the hydrogen peroxide and ointment. i'm went to town tonight and got some bandaides. i'm hoping to patch him up. if you,whoever is reading this, are willing to help out with some money to help us fix up his room, email me. nick55@byu.net. if you dont know what i'm talking about with this boy, check out the pictures on the link to the left of this.

i'm thankful for what i'm seeing here, its really disturbing sometimes, but it's real life outside the US.
