August 24--Attack of the Mosquitoes and other Illness

You can barely see it in this picture, but Silas has 5 bug bites on his face. He woke up with them this morning. The hotel staff said that it is because it is unusually hot in Bogota and with the rain the mosquitos come in through the windows. They look more like bed bugs, so I had the sheets changed. In any case, all is well. Just bites.

On a same note, Brian is sick. 100 degrees with aches and hard to breath. I emailed our facilitator, Helena, to update her on some things and mentioned this to her. Within about and hour she had called concerned and with the name of a doctor! She is our Bogota mom! Brian slept just about all day and we are hoping that it does not spread to the rest of us.

So our day was very laid back. Just sitting around the hotel. This was nice for us. A new family that arrived yesterday had their adoption this morning. So we have another little one. Their child is absolutely adorable and is one year old. It is too bad for us that they do not speak much English.

Eddie says it sounds like you are on the Oregan Trail... game we played growing up. Glad to hear it is mosquitos only. Hope this finds Brian on the road to recovery!
