Our good friend (and fellow elder) Rob is going to join us in Monterrey to assist with Jacob's care. Rob will be with us for the whole time. He emailed me yesterday and said that, while he did not want to insert himself unnecessarily, if we still needed help he and his wife both felt that he should come along. Rob has lots of experience with Jacob's routine. He took care of all the children the morning Susanna was born and has been a mainstay of helping us with Jacob's early morning routine when Melody has had to go to Philadelphia for RSD appointments. His offer brought huge relief to Melody.
When we mentioned Rob's coming Jacob he was very excited. His first words were, "Good, be sure to remind me to pack my chess set!" (Jacob is looking forward to honing his skills against a seasoned veteran.) Andres and Ruth are still looking for someone to assist us in Mexico. With Rob coming the number of hours needed is greatly reduced so I think that will make it easier to find someone.
