I went to the doctor today

I spoke too soon about feeling better. After a couple days back at the orphanage and one late night birthday party, I began to get worse. My cough got worse and my head began to hurt (from the sinus pressure). I finally decided last night that I would go to the doctor. So, today Jeter and Anne went with me to the doctor. She said that I have a bacterial infection. I´m guessing it is like a sinus infection. She said that I could have gotten it from the orphanage because the kids most likely have lots of bacteria--kinds that my body isn´t used to. Anyway, she gave me two prescriptions and said that I should be feeling better in three days. I was going to go to a wedding tonight in another city, but instead I think I´ll be in the bed... So, pray that I can get rid of this infection quickly. It has been really hard to be sick for so long--about 10 days!!! I hope to feel better really, really soon!!!

Also, pray for Anne. Pray that she doesn´t catch this infection from me!!

p.s. Jeter had a great birthday. The party was lots of fun. He and his brother Ciro bar-b-qued meat. His mom made rice and beans. The cake was delicious!

Hey Carlita,

I'm so glad that you've gotten some medicine. I hope it kicks in soon. I love you and am thinking of you.

Hey -- do you have pictures, or is there a website, for the orphanage? I'm sorry if it's a silly question. It would be neat to see some of the faces and places that you are.

I will be praying for you, cute girl.
Much love,
Kelli E

I couldn´t be at home in his birthday because I was working...

You are missed. I always get excited about your Brazilian life. Rock on, Portuguese! Por-fay-vore. Falar un poco!

With a lot of Love,
