Not Much New

Brian is still in Afghanistan. He's still doing well. There's still a LOT of sand in the desert. And military food is still not all that great.
He's working from sun-up to sun-down most days. Other days he's not working much at all. The company has made a tentative offer for Brian to work for them permanently. We're not so sure about that as it would be 3 months on, 2 weeks off. That's really not going to work for me unless it was somewhere we could move to, also. And that's not going to happen since most of the work they have is in the Middle East and (as I was corrected) Asia (Afghanistan is technically in Asia). We'll see what happens.
We are able to talk on Skype most days. Some days the internet isn't being cooperative for him.
These 2 weeks have been going okay for us as a family here at home. We're used to Brian being gone this long since he's been doing it for the past 5 years. This coming week is new territory, though. The longest he's been gone before is between 2 and 3 weeks. Just breathe. It will be fine.
We found out today that Brandon has pneumonia. He's been coughing for a week or so. We went to the doctor last week and he didn't hear anything suspicious. When the cough didn't really respond to OTC drugs, I took him back. This time, the doctor heard rattling in Brandon's lungs and sent him for an x-ray. We caught it fairly early so he should respond quickly. Everyone else is healthy!!! For now.
