Yesterday we all were having a good time together. We celebrated Aly's birthday and went to church, ate etc. but in the middle of the night something got us.
Basically a virus is wiping everyone out. We have 9 volunteers at home, 6 throwing up, 2 with diarrhea, and one with a sinus infection. Not only that, but our computer is also infected with something funky because it wont work.
awesome.
Luckily we have good contacts and talked to the mission president who said it's totally normal and should expect about 24 hours of sickness to get whatever the bug is out of everyones systems. for now we left out the BRAT diet snacks and are hoping for the best.
After cleaning out a bucket of throw up and bleaching the bathrooms again, melissa and I walked, disheveled, out of our house. When we closed the gate, we looked at each other and just started laughing. We remembered the fact that last night we were discussing the potential of this week being smoother than last week. :)
The sick people are in high spirits despite their un-comfort and we are taking the sinus infection volunteer to our landlord the doctor this afternoon (he practiced in australia for many years). We also can get good antibiotics over the counter here so we will get these guys better.
p.s. Andrew Harrison is not sick.
LOL. Love the update on Andrew. I think eveyone is relieved you haven't killed him yet.
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh! I'm so far behind. I need to set your blog up in my google reader so I can follow you better:) This adventure is amazing, I'm so incredulous at what you're doing and am in awe of this whole project. Way to go K-Dan! p.s. could you imagine if I were there with you? just think about that if you need a good laugh.
ReplyDeletegood thing you were blessed with an iron stomach. no diarrhea for you! but maybe you should pretend to be sick so you dont have to clean out anymore vomit buckets. just an idea.
