Home, Sick.

June 7th, 2011 · 4 Comments

As I posted previously, we got home from Taiwan yesterday. Unfortunately we both picked up colds a few days before we came back, and so the flight, normally boring and tiring, was downright uncomfortable.

For me it’s just a cold, but Gisele got sicker and sicker, until today she went to see the doctor. He was concerned that the bronchitis might be pneumonia, so he arranged for her to get rush xrays. Meanwhile he put her on super-antibiotics that will treat pneumonia or anything else likely taking up residence in her lungs.

Otherwise, the trip to Taiwan was great. I wish I could have stayed longer; maybe next time.

Devon is having the time of his life over there, hobnobbing with movie stars, singers and models. He still doesn’t have a full-time girlfriend, but that may change in the near future; these things are always hard to predict.

Meanwhile, Derek has begun summer classes at ASU. He continues to focus on math with advanced calculus and analysis classes, though he still isn’t sure that’s where he will end up.

    I’m so sorry to hear you are sick and I sure hope Gisele is okay. Let me know if you need anything.

    Glad you had such a good time. I hope you took some pictures.

    How is Gisele feeling?

    Gisele has pretty much returned to just having a cold. The bronchitis seems mostly cleared up. She and I continue coughing and congested — it’s been about 2 weeks now.
