Goodness gracious! When you got your Mommy credentials nobody told you about times like this? I think it was listed on page 4,528. Did you miss it?
I do know how you are feeling. Here he is in another country, waiting with the bums and not having anything to eat. A mother's nightmare come true! I do hope you hear from him soon and come back and post to let us know he is fine.
