This may not seem like a Mongolia post, but when you're stuck in a locked down country during a world wide Pandemic, and your loved one is in a Seattle area nursing home (the epicenter and hotbeds of the US outbreak of COVID-19) things can seem pretty bleak.
Brothers Jon (and family) and Jake visit a month or so after moving Dad into a smaller facility with only 8 residents. His previous facility had more than a hundred, and a few weeks ago had 39 cases of COVID. So far no sickness reported here.
We're all pretty grateful. I think Dad is too! God bless the USA with recovery and Jeremy's brothers for their care. A blessing of big families is we can stand in for each other in caring for the old folks. He keeps asking when we're going to visit him. "It's going to be a while", especially since Mongolia just extended their international flight ban through May 31st!
Here is another COVID Quarantine scene. The kids' cousins visit their grandma outside her home in Ellensburg. Kittitas county has had less than 20 infections and no deaths so far. Praise the Lord!
