Quarantine

Well, we finally made it out of quarantine.

Our repatriation flight landed us in Dulles at 3AM. We went to the hotel and had an amazing hot shower and 2 hours of sleep before we went back to the airport to catch a plane to Detroit, then Atlanta, then Chattanooga. My parents drove to the airport with two cars and met us at the airport with a car loaded with food. We drove home by ourselves, waved to my sister who stayed on the porch with her 4 week old, picked up the dog, and drove to a cabin in the woods with no cell service or internet.

It was a both a blessing and difficult to be so isolated. Alone in the woods, in a beautiful cabin, with wonderful food, and a loving spouse is quite wonderful. But even though we are thousands of miles closer to home, we were even more isolated from our family than when in Africa.

COVID makes it easy to be paranoid. On our arrival we started to have worsening runny nose, small cough, but no fever. We stayed cooped up for a week and a half, during which time Rachel read 8 books. We called the health department, which is now doing screening for all who want it, and got tested. It felt like I was getting my brain tickled by that swab. After a few days, our tests both came back negative. All our symptoms were just allergies and we praise God for that.

It's wonderful to be back home and reunited with family. But after only 7 months, it still seems like we left some of our heart back in Salone.
