Wednesday 5th of September 2012,
Liz and I set off for Ovar, 16 km up the road .... there was a storm last night and it was a tad cool first thing, but turned out to be a pleasant day, weather wise.
Re news from home ... roller coaster day .... I thought all was good and carried on doing the lunch thing etc. But no, when checking new emails, turns out I was miss informed, so still praying for friend.
Not knowing anything and not being able to contact people who know what is happening, its difficult to handle. Even phoned the hospital,  got the usual  "she is doing as well as can be expected". Well at least I knew she was still alive.
So lots of emails from Ovar to home its now 12.30am Thursday morning and finally an email from friends partner saying he is picking her up from hospital, she is OK, but that she is still very weak and looking at several weeks or more to get back to normal, it was Yellow Fever and she is very lucky to be alive.
So can go to bed now, relieved and hopefully get some sleep.
