Katie called last night and is sick; she thinks she has an upper respiratory infection. She was supposed to go see a doctor after school to find out what was wrong. The SIT program was aware of her illness and is going to help her know what to do and where to go.
She texted me this morning and said she saw a doctor and, in fact, has an upper respiratory infection. The doctor gave her medicine and took blood to make sure she didn't have an Indonesian virus. She said she was worried about getting hepatitis because of giving blood. All we can do is hope that doesn't happen and that she's better soon. Once the medicine kicks in, which should be soon, she will start feeling better and ready to enjoy paradise again.
She also told me that finding an internet connection is difficult. The closest available place is a 15 minute drive from her host home, so Skyping still isn't available as readily as we'd hoped.
Keep her in your thoughts for not only getting better, but for adapting to Indonesia.
2 weeks in and only 93 days to go!
Hope she is much better today!
