I am O.K.

My dear friends,
Sorry for not contact you sooner ... as always busy as used to... with settle things down in Thailand. Now I have just got my computer & internet connection...so I'm ready to spread the news. 
My family and I have gone through a bit of hard time. And that makes me have no time or even have mood to be on line like before.
After about 2 months in Thailand, now we are fine and settle down almost everything. My first priority now is Atom and his education. For this start I have to give him all support I could. Atom is going through a very difficult time for sure. I put him in the bilingule school. He has to start learning Thai since the beginning. First 2 weeks was very bad, he was under a lot of pressure. He kept asking me why he was stupid and couldn't read Thai. He bite himself on both arms in the classroom because he was angry with himself. That made me couldn't sleep for many nights kept thinking I was choosing the right choice for him or not. I was thinking to move him to international school so he doesn't have to learn Thai at all. I am not sure and don't really know what is best.
The school system here is very difficult and take a lot of time from both student and parents. Atom has about 15 books in his school bags and has homework everyday. Now he studys from 8am - 5pm, comes back home at 6.30 for dinner and shower and do homework, times all gone. Not much free time to enjoy life.
I am so worried about Atom. He just left hospital last week. He had already admitted in the hospital twice in 2 months. Let's say once in 3 weeks....so bad.
But in general, we are still doing O.K. and getting better each day. I myself take this period as a break to be with my family, taking care my parents and trying to take Atom some trips since I didn't do much in Vietnam.
Hope you all are doing all right out there and be safe from the virus all around. Be more carefull!
Keep in touch.
