Typhoon Wipha and Fever

Tuesday:



The typhoon is coming! But not to us... All counties north of Taichung have closed govt offices and schools but Taichung and areas to the south are OPEN.

That's right! BURL SWEEPS THE FLOOR!

Well, it's raining and windy here. Since it's Tuesday, the boys and I have no school anyway. As long as mood, health and weather permit we will be doing some grocery shopping.





Ivo's got a fever. It started yesterday evening. The school called both Ryan and me but neither of us heard the phone; my phone has been dropped and drooled on too much to make sounds, Ryan was probably on the road when his phone rang. Anyway, kids are allowed at school while they are sick but NOT if they have fevers. I think Ivo is teething but I'm gonna take him to the dr this morning - when the motrin wears off - because he's still coughing some. Ivo's appetite is good and he's eating well, so it doesn't seem like his throat hurts but he still refuses to drink much except apple juice.





As far as the coughing goes, the air is thick with particulate matter. I parked for an hour on Da Duen yesterday and when I returned to the car it was coated in a very visible layer of dust.

Wednesday Morning:



Went to dr... steam and sucked Ivo's nose. No more fever. Lungs sound normal. Cough due to post nasal drip. We are planning on going to school.
