All better ...

Goodness! It has been quite a week. On Saturday Makayla woke from her nap with 103.8 fever. I used IBuprofen and cool washcloths to keep her fever down but it kept coming back through Monday night. Then, Tuesday morning she woke up and her temperature was 96! A contact we have out here took us to a local pediatrician and translated everything for me. After describing all of Makayla's symptoms the Dr. asked if Makayla had a rash and I said no. Within minutes of the Dr. taking off her shirt to examine her, a rash spread across her body ... it was bizarre! The Dr. said, "Oh, there it is. She is healed now". Apparently she had the "3 day fever" which ends in a rash and means she is healed. It is some weird German Disease and only babies under 3 can get it and once they do they are immune for life. The Dr. said if her fever comes back in the next few days though to bring her back because she could have German Measles ... fabulous ... she hasn't had her MMR vaccine yet so hopefully she just had that "3 day fever" thing. Today her temp. is back to normal and she seems to be cured. We need to get out of this place!!!!!!!!!! Meanwhile, I had some nasty flu bug as well ... basically, it was good times all around. Did I mention we lost ... boo ...

Here is a pic to cheer everyone up!
