My day at the hospital

So I spent all day today at the hospital...

I woke up this morning and felt extremely dizzy, nauseous, and had a bad headache. So I slept for a few more hours and still felt the same. We went to the hospital and I found out that I have a bacterial infection, so I am on antibiotics now.

It was a frustrating day at the hospital, they are not used to telling the patients what is wrong with them, so every time they checked my blood pressure, I had to ask what is was...it was 80/50 when I first got to the hospital. So they admitted me for low blood pressure, they gave me many fluids and my blood pressure went back up to normal (thank the lord). It was definitely a different experience being in a hospital in Africa.

As for the school, they were not able to have the meeting again, because my host mother (the superintendent of the school) was not able to attend, so it was rescheduled again for Monday. I have told some of the teachers about it, and they seem to be very interested in what I have to say. As soon as we have the meeting I will update the blog again and tell you how it went. The most important part is that pretty soon the canes will be gone, and the teachers will have a new way to give consequences to the students.

Thank you all for your interest and prayers.
