sick kids in Baguio Gold
Charlotte and Rose have been ‘sick for days while I was in Sagada. Six-year-old Rose had chicken pox weeks ago, and missed a week of Kindergarten. Then her eight-year old sister contracted chicken pox. I would have thought that it’d run its course and that they’d be well, but Charlotte’s immune system was weakened, I suppose, and she got influenza then passed that to Rose. Both have been miserable, and I haven’t known.
This morning I got up early and waited three hours for Mack to bring his sisters to Monterrazas Village so that we could journey together to Baguio City and I could pay for a pediatrician to diagnose and treat the girls, however belatedly.
Mack left his cell phone last evening to charge it in my home overnight, so this morning I couldn’t send text messages to him to ask, “Where are you?” or “Are you coming?”
I sincerely hope that their grandmother ‘makes’ the girls take their three medicines three times per day for a week! One medicine is grape-tinged syrup, and one is cherry-flavored, I think. I should pray that Nanay can entice the sisters to ingest their medicines when they should so that they’ll feel better and be well and return to school next week. †
