Sickness all around

Leave it to the Kramer clan to get sick so far from home!

Wednesday Isabella was very lethargic and we could not wake her up. We called our in country rep and she sent over a doctor to take a look. He said to give her oil and she would be fine. When we asked what kind of oil he said any kind would work. He did not speak much English so we just figured we would wait until we were home to get advice.

Thursday came and Isabella seemed to be feeling a little bit better but was very cranky, maybe from no sleep. But she later started to run a fever and pull at her ear. I in the meantime developed a nasty cough and a fever. When Veronica, one of our reps, delivered the visa yesterday afternoon she asked how the baby was feeling. I mentioned the fever and she asked how I was. She was taking another family to a doctor office and asked if we would like to go too.

Good thing we did. Isabella has an ear infection. The doctor gave her two medicines, both she hates taking. I have bronchitis and have two new medicines.

Hopefully today's flight goes well!!
