Under the Weather...

Day 17

Today we all slept until 11am!  We needed it, I guess, as now Gagan woke up feeling sick, and M's eye was swollen shut!  After all those times I touched wood, now all this is happening!  We had some breakfast at home from leftovers from Manju and our lovely meal at Nana and Nani's house last night.

CM Nana is Gagan's mom's uncle, I think you will remember.  They moved to Bangalore from Bombay while we were here, and we visited them a few times in Dollars Colony. One son, Mohit, is here in Bangalore (married with 2 boys) and the other son, Amit,  has been in the US for 20+years (now also married with 2 kids).  Hopefully we will see Amit and Seema and their boys (bit older than R); Gagan needs to call them.


I worked on M's eye with hot compresses and massaged the tear duct, in case that was the problem.  Gagan's throat was killing him, and he felt a fever coming on, and we had no Tylenol!  After all that meds shopping, we overlooked buying pain medication for adults!  Oh, and today is a holiday, so the on-site doctor was not in.  Just great.  We did find out that Reception had paracetamol, so at least we didn't have to walk to Sahakara Nagar to get some.

After lunch, I convinced Gagan to rest, and he was able to sleep for a few hours.  The kids played soccer with some NCBS kids, and then I took them for a swim.  S also spent some time taking some pictures.  Some turned out to be pretty good, too!

M's eye got a bit better by the end of the day.  We talked to Gagan's mom, who recommended some drops we picked up for her, so we put those in before bed.  See how it is tomorrow.
