August 6th, 2011 - Internet Issues Resolved???

Last night we discovered that there is too much security on the computer Bob sent along with me – and this doesn’t allow me to publish my blogs. So I will be using not only Daysha’s USB internet, but also her laptop to post my blogs.
I headed to the clinic this morning at 8am to relieve Julie. I gave Erika a shower & got her dressed for the day, took temps, gave medicines, swept/mopped the clinic, washed dishes, and ran the bedding through the washer. Jackie came to relieve me at 11am and will be staying for two 6-hour shifts, because I will be staying the night. Erika hasn’t eaten since early yesterday and didn’t eat again this morning. This actually isn’t good, because now she is complaining of stomach pains and she has been vomiting up the medicine and water all night & morning (because the medicine is upsetting her stomach THAT much since it’s empty).
At 11am, I brought the wet bedding back to the volunteer house to dry and cut Erika 2 small slices of banana bread (thinking that would be good for her empty tummy). She took a tiny bite and said that she DIDN’T like the bread – which completely stunned me because I thought it was yummy!
I headed to the girls’ volunteer house and did dishes at the lavanderia’s spicket once again with Joy. There were more dishes than normal, so it took us over an hour to do them all. My water shoes were soaked by the time I finished, so they are sitting outside and I am hoping that they dry quickly.
I chatted with Daysha for a bit back at the volunteer house before heading to supper with the little girls. After supper was bath time and Mariela asked both Joy and I to stay and help prepare the beds and watch the little girls while the older girls went off to bible study. While we were there, it poured and the girls got a little restless. Just like I do at home with my own children, they were given warnings about settling down or they would have to go to bed early. When the big girls came back, I headed to the clinic to spend the night with Erika. I had to wake up every 2 hours to take her temperature (and give medicines on some occasions), but overall it went well.
