Medicine... yuck!

We have been sick for about the last week! Evan had an upset stomach, runny nose and cough. Audrey had congestion, ear ache and an upset tummy. Not fun. We went to the doctor at one of the local hospitals. She is very nice. She is a children's doctor (pediatrician). One thing is for sure - they give you a lot of medicines in India when you get sick! We almost had one medicine for all the colors of the rainbow. It doesn't taste very good, and Dad says the bottles don't have "safety caps" on them. Icky.


The good thing is that we are now feeling alot better. We got to walk to the store to get some treats to eat. Mom and Dad let us do this once a week for fun. We can spend 20 rupees. (That's about $.50). Evan got a small bag of chips and a juice box. Audrey got a BIG bag of chips!

Hope that you are better Kate. You probably did not get a rainbow of medicine, but you probably did eat some chips when you were better!

Thanks for sending your mailing address. Mom wants me to practice writing more and she thought Evan would be a good pen-pal.

Sorry to hear you were sick, but I am still jealous that you get to try so many new things! Mom says I am still really picky about my food so maybe I wouldn't try the new stuff anyway?
