Kericho

Early Sunday morning, George and I headed to Kericho to visit the hospital he used to work at. George wanted me to re-do the labs so he could double check the results. George still has full privileges at the hospital so he is able to run the tests himself. Plus, I could have the ultrasound done there. After a two hour, bumpy matatu ride we arrived at the hospital. It was neat to meet all his old co-workers. He is very much loved there by everyone and they were happy to meet me as well. Within an hour, the labs and ultrasound were done. The labs confirmed an infection and the ultrasounds showed everything was fine with the baby. One of George's doctor friends saw us and again prescribed an antibiotic. I was relieved to know the baby was ok and anxious to start the medicine so I could get better.

After we were done at the hospital, we visited with Lydia and Benard, two of George's friends who work at the hospital. Both attended our wedding – Lydia as a guest and Benard as a groomsmen. While at Lydia's apartment, she gave us oranges and mangos. When we decided to go to lunch, Lydia went to her room to get ready. Then we heard her cry that monkeys were in her kitchen. I thought she was kidding. She wasn't!!!! I didn't know that there are a lot of monkeys in Kericho. A mom and baby snuck in her kitchen to help themselves to the rest of the mango! Once they grabbed their loot, they ran to an adjacent roof where we got to watch them. They were adorable! I was really bummed I didn't have my camera. A few minutes later, we saw a few more monkeys being chased out of a pharmacy. One of them had taken some medicine! So funny!

After having lunch with Lydia and Benard, George and I headed back to Kisumu. Fortunately, this matatu didn't have many stops on the way and only took an hour and half to arrive. Now that I have the medicine I need, I will try to rest and hopefully feel better just in time to go to Tanzania on Wednesday.
