Today was way hotter than any day so far, and the hottest of any day on my three trips here. It's a dry heat, as the saying goes, but we baked. Thank God no one fell out, though Matt had to lay out this afternoon with the bug. He's had Cipro though so he should be good to go soon enough.
It certainly helps that we have a nurse/mother/safety officer in Judy, who makes sure everyone is taking breaks, filling water bottles, and reminding everyone to drink up. It worked. We're all OK though tired and sore as usual.
We leave soon to visit El Hogar de Las Nina, an orphanage for young girls...more on that later.
Hard to believe already that tomorrow is our last day in Santa Rosa...
Adios!
Hey. Matt's sister here. (Matt A from Gboro in case you were talking about a different Matt.) Hope he's feeling better. Pass along IL family well wishes please!
ReplyDeleteFrom one nurse mother to another: Thanks for taking care of of Matthew, even if he isn't ours!
ReplyDeletePush the fluids, Matthew, and rest! We know you are planning on a big Saturday on the zip line.

Matt seemed better tonight and went to dinner with us, which is obviously a good sign. I expect with another couple of Cipros in him he will be near 100% tomorrow and back on the work site all day.
ReplyDeleteThanks you for your continued thoughts and prayers...Rob
