Josh tends to be very trusting and has had his credit card # stolen before. I told him about this and how others say it happens more than you think especially on ships. He says he either has his wallet on him or locked up at all times. I am glad they solved this case but dissapointed that it was even an issue.

So sad that someone felt they could get away with stealing someone other things. And even sadder he didn't think there would be any consequences. Honest people do exist though. Son went to a restaurant over the weekend and forgot his wallet. He went back several hours later and
got the wallet back with all the money in it!!

On another note son sent me a picture of his toes last week. Told me he couldn't feel them and they were painful. They were very red. Told him he needed to have them looked at. Someone at the drug store gave him some medicine. He went away over the weekend and said his feet were better since he changed shoes. Monday he sent me a new picture which he thought they looked better. They look awful! Nail has different colors in it and I am worried he may loose his toes. Looks like cellulitis in both little toes. I showed it to a neighbor nurse and she said it needs to be cultures as it looked like an infection- staph or maybe mersa. Called him again and seems he doesn't think he can get there before Thrusday as medical is only open certain hours. Hope I am over reacting and maybe it is just a bad case of athelete's foot.

Staph is very serious and nothing to mess with. Call his SLPO and force him to the Dr. Please keep us posted, I will keep him in my thoughts. I had an ex who got it from an infected pimple and nearly died before he got to a Dr. It can be treated but he HAS to go to the Dr.

Son called to say he would go to the medical center tomorrow to have someone look at his feet. Said the pictures looked worse than reality. On a good note, he passed the test.
