A trip to the hospital

Yesterday I (Carol) took Esther Lawson to the hospital. Last week she had her gall bladder removed and yesterday was her follow up check. We left at 11am and didn't get back until 4.30pm - we got lost on the way home! It's rather typical here that things outside of the home can take a lot longer than you expect. Still it gave us time to chat and we saw lots of new parts of Mexico City. Thankfully Tabitha behaved like an angel though I was a little concerned by her bowel movements! She's had diarrhoea on and off for a few weeks and we've tried various things at the doctor's recommendation. This time he advised that we go down to a nearby hospital to have some tests done.

So we got back in the car and were off to the hospital again. We should find out the results of the tests within the next week. It will be good to know what is causing the problem though through it all Tabitha has continued to be her usual happy self. We have been amazed to listen to her language developing. She is not only starting to use English words, she has been using some Spanish ones too and appropriately. It won't be long before she's teaching us and telling us that's she's embarrassed to hear how bad our grammar is!
