It finally happened. Hannah who was sick with swine flu for 5 days or so and then not eating or drinking anything since then, was vomiting this morning when we were getting ready to go from Arequipa to Lima and collapsed upon boarding the plane. There was of course a huge hullabaloo, the doctor was called on, and though they diagnosed her only with dehydration (no more flu), they wouldnt let her fly. So off we went, and into a very personal experience with the Peruvian medical system.
Overwhelming to tell the whole story, but after 1.5L we got her to Lima, much perked up I might add, and she and Mom departed just now (early) for Boston. Dad and I are staying on one more weekend. Updates to come. New pictures should be up on Picasa of our Arequipa trip.
