Wholly unreal and timorous

Sean was mugged on Sat. 2/16. He sustained a head injury resulting in 70% hearing loss in his right ear and vertigo. He was released from the hospital yesterday and is on bed rest with his host family. We are having a difficult time communicating with the drs in Nairobi. If you have any contacts in Nairobi, please contact us mkolk@mindspring.com or 770-595-2337.
thanks, margaret kolk

Part of me can't help but recognize the irony in the fact that his mother posted this comment after he wrote about his feeling awkward of people's concerns for him.

My immediately first gut reaction was something I'm not proud of, and something completely unbecoming of an AIESECer. I've gotten over that, though, because I know that he's going to take this in stride and not hold it against the Nairobi LC or the whole of Kenya. If anything, he's received his first battle scar, and all I can do is hope that it's just cosmetic.

Keep living the dream, buddy. You're never far from our thoughts.
