Jun. 25, 2007 - In the Sick of Things

Poor Number One Son is sick at home today.  He got sick last evening while at a mall and had to make a run to the bathroom.. uh oh!  No public bathrooms in C---a! Urgent trip to the apartment!  He felt better once home, so got up this morning to go to the gym and work, but got sick again at the gym.  He took a taxi home, not thinking he could manage the subway and El and went to bed for the day.

He's feeling dehydrated which is complicated by the lack of cool water.  You see, you can't drink the tap water, not even the natives drink it! So you have a choice between bottled water (warm, they don't put it in the coolers) or water from the water "cooler" at your house.  I say "cooler" because they don't use the cooler part, only setting up the hot water part because after all, you are only using it for your green tea, right?, which they drink all day everyday. So, Number One Son is getting water out of the "cooler" that has been heated and putting it in the fridge to be cooled again - very, very efficient, huh?

So please pray for rapid healing and encouragement for our sick boy today!
