In Sickness...

Wednesday, I felt fine. In fact, Alex's host dad had just commented how I hadn't been sick at all because I was "fuerte" (strong). But then Thursday night, I was shivering, and I woke up sweating with a fever - 102 according to my disposable thermometer that I still had from the H1N1 breakout. So I stayed in bed, sick-sick-sick yesterday. When my fever was higher at night, I was afraid I would have to go to a clinic. I called the nurse who takes care of us students here, and she told me to push the fluids and try to stay cool. So, I did, and I felt better.

Thanks be to God, my fever was gone this morning! Throughout the day, it's risen a bit. I'm a bit nervous about a relapse, but I think I'm on the mend. Tomorrow I'll go to the finca with my mama so that the mother hen can keep an eye on her chick. :) God is good, and I'm thankful that I don't have more symptoms than the fever today. Please pray for health to be fully restored to me and the others in the group who are under the weather.
