August 27--Doctors still make house calls

Today has been long. Last night, Lucia began feeling sick and threw up. She was such a trooper, especially b/c this was the first time in her life she has thrown up. Late this afternoon, her temp went up to 103.3. Lucia being sick like this is new territory for me b/c until now she hasn't been sick like this. I was feeling quite helpless and nervous. We called the doctor this afternoon for help.

The pediatrician is very nice here, and she came to our hotel tonight at 8:00. She took good care of Lucia (and Brian, who is still not feeling well). She seems to think that Lucia has a stomach virus and Brian has a respiratory virus. Double whammy of germs floating around in our little hotel room (and Carulla does not sell Lysol spray). So tonight Brian and Lucia are sleeping on one side of the room while Silas and I are sleeping on the other, even though this only places us a few feet apart :) We are hoping and praying that Silas and I do not catch either one of these viruses! 
On a lighter note, I think I may have designed a Bumbo seat for us to use in our room. Okay, so it is just a high chair with a soft towel and some toys, but it is great for Silas to practice sitting!

Praying long and hard that Lucia and Brian will rest well tonight and awake feeling much, much better, also that Silas and Trisha stay well! <><

Oh no! I'm so sorry they aren't felling well. Hoping and praying they get better soon and that you and Silas don't get it.
