Yes, that's Mikah in the middle of the rice paddy. What you can't see is that she's walking on a small pathway... had she not been she would have been in big trouble as it is rather muddy in the field itself.

Today Hugo and I left the house at 7:30 am with Brynnie to get more blood tests done. We went back to the place we had gone to on saturday and they told us that they could only do one of the tests and that we had to go somewhere else for the other test, or we could go to the other place for both tests or they could have someone from the other place bring the special petri dish, or whatever it was, over to their place but then we'd have to wait. Uggghhh... Anyways, I talked a bit more with the lab technician and explained the situation to her and she said that it was weird that Brynnie didn't have a fever. She said that usually when you have bacteria in your blood, you will have a fever. So that made me think some more and I decided to try to go back to the first doctor that we had seen about this back in October. He must have changed his office hours as he wasn't in but there was another doctor in whose name was Dr. Johannes. I thought that sounded like a good Christian name so I agreed to see him. We were number 1 on the waiting list! But.... this is Indonesia so even though you are number one that doesn't mean that you will see the doctor immediately. We had to wait about 20 minutes before he even showed up. Anyways, he explained that of course the bacterial blood culture was negative as the bacteria in her blood had been killed by the antibiotics. However, you can have bacteria in your skin and it won't show up on a blood test. He recommended that we keep using the antibacterial cream we've been using and gave us a special antiseptic type soap to wash her with once a day. So, then we figured, we're at a doctor anyways, might as well get her shots all done. So poor Brynnie had four shots today and wasn't at all happy about it. I was just glad to hear that they had all the shots she needed. So hopefully this new soap will help things along. I felt much more confident in this doctors abilities than the other one's....

The countdown continues... only 6 more days of school....
