Well, I woke up around 3 this morning, thinking that my
throat was closing shut and I was quite fearful.. Father Simon is out of town
still (he stayed in Kigali after dropping off Karen, Ken and Rosemary to work
on his Visa) and I wouldn’t know who to call in an emergency. Nancy, of course,
but she cannot drive to pick me up.. and Boniface drives, but there is a
language barrier.. maybe he’d understand “HELP!” hahaha
Anyways, my throat wasn’t closing, but I’m having severe
allergies again-- I wouldn’t even qualify it as allergies.. or, if I can, it’s
the worst kind of allergies one can imagine. I sneeze continuously, my eyes
water and nose runs uncontrollably, my throat is sore, scratchy, and filled
with mucus, I have a headache and I’m quite cold.. I somehow have acquired a
cold in the summer in Africa. However, the asst. principal (my main contact at
school besides Sr. Amelia) told me to go home and rest because he is fearful I
have the flu. I do not believe I do, but, if I’m not better by lunch, he’s
sending a doctor for me.
Earlier this week when my allergies were so bad, Nancy
noticed how puffy all my bites are (and no, not from scratching, family) but
like they’re all infected, even brand new ones.. she proposed that I’m possibly
allergic to them and since I have 28? I think, maybe my body is just really mad
at me. My bites have been bad everywhere though.. the States, Jamaica, and now
here.. here is just scarier because of all the diseases they carry.. I’m
faithful w/ my preventative medicine though, no worries!
All I have to say is.. it sucks that it’s 3am at home and I
can’t call either my mom or grandma.. or dad, I suppose.. but dad deals with
scary/painful things like resetting bones, dislocations, and spinal taps.. mom
and grandma are the womanly care of aches and sads.
Time to rest w/ hopes of healthiness upon waking!

I DON'T care what time it is day or night, please call me if you are not feeling well or if you just need to talk. You can also call you Gram no matter what she is always up late and even if not she will be glad to take your call. THe Bucco's are in first place can you believe it??? Gram is so excited!!!
Your post concerns me...don't wait too long to go to the dr. or should I say, let them have a medical personnel check you out. Is Fr.'s relative around to check you??? I am worried about you and those mosquito bites or whatever "bites" they are. Don't wait too long. Do you feel this is truly an allergic reaction??? or one of your breathing attacks???
Please take care and know how much we love you.
