Don't Drink the Water

We had our first major sickness. Catalina was sick early last week. Followed by Amy. Amy had difficulty finding a doctor so she just went to the emergency room of the local hospital. She was very dehydrated so ended up spending two nights in the hospital. The second night was probably a bit of overkill. Unlike in the US, they are very quick to admit you here. One of my expat coworkers also had a sick daughter who spent two nights the hospital. There are a few positives come from this incident. one - a two day hospital stay was only 14,200 Php or ~$262 USD. and 2) Amy and I had a opportunity to practice our cell phone texting skills. everyone hear has a cell phone but texting is significantly cheaper than a voice call.

At this moment, Amy is not having the greatest experience, but I am happy to report she is out of the hospital and doing fine.
