Mr. B brings the flu

I suppose it was bound to happen eventually. I am actually surprised it took so long. We all got sick. Mr. B came out for a visit. We were all so excited and had big plans when he arrived for his weeklong stay. Now I am not sure if he brought the bug or if it was just coincidence but he arrived on a Saturday and by Monday the entire house was showing signs of illness. Going to the hospital is no easy task and takes just about the entire day to accomplish. It requires 2 buses to a different town, and very long waits with no A/C while the mosquitoes feast on you. The good news is that it is very cheap to see a doctor here. It cost 100 pesos, which is about $3 bucks. Even the cost of medication is low. By Tuesday we made our first trip to the hospital with Miss M, on Wednesday we took Miss P and Miss O On Thursday Mr. B himself was lifeless in bed and on Friday Senora X and myself went down. On his last day here Senora A was also on her way down. She was the last one to get sick. The only survivor of the nasty bug that spoiled an entire week intended for fun in the sun was Baby R. Breast milk rocks! Mr. B has left already and the girls were pretty bummed that they never got to go on the boat with him, but I guess there is always next time.
