Day 8 or is it 9 or 10............

Monday 3rd - weekend over and all surviving well in the Miller home. As you will see by the blog earlier today (Newsflash), Angie is less than well, and just surviving. At least this evening she reported feeling better via text. (Yes her cell phone is still miraculously powered - of which I am grateful).

So Sunday Angie and the team were heading to a resort.. At 10 am her text read "its raining and the resort is really crummy but the massage will make me feel better. I am sick again".

At 3.30 pm the text text read...."happiness is a hot shower, a pina colada and merangue on the beach" There was a second one 2 minutes later which started ......"unhappiness is doing it without you...." It is now 11 days since we have seen each other, and the gap is noticeable for both of us.

So on to Monday morning. The first text came through which I posted in brief about the dysentery. The full text read "so half the team has dysentery including me. My hair is falling out and pains in my legs due to potassium depletion. Off to another camp today."

The final text at 4pm this afternoon read "took over an hour to get to today's camp. Lots of mentally handicapped children and parents = mucho poverty. Feeling better.

I can only begin to imagine the situation over there and the conditions in which they are working. I am concerned for her health and that she will manage the remaining time over there but come back seriously weak and sick.

On the home front, Joe is having a tough time at college for a couple of reasons and I have got involved for his safety and sanity. He had sent a couple of texts to Angie and she had picked up that something was wrong. She does not know the extent of the issues.
