I noticed just earlier this week that my host mother is pregnant. You think to yourself, no big deal... right? But no- she just got out of the hospital due to Malaria. This makes me very nervous for the baby...
Also, we had another Malaria scare this week. Yves, the youngest (3), was showing all the symptoms of "Palu" (as they call it-"Palu" is short for Paludisme... the French translation of Malaria): He had a fever and runny nose. His symptoms have since then subsided, thankfully not escalating to alarming rates. That settled, my host father now has the flu.
I cant figure out if the Melfoquine is acting up again, or if there is legit weird shit going down outside my house. Ive been woken up two times this week, once from the sound of someone sobbing; the second from someone screaming. The scream, mind you, was so scary that I was left lying in my bed feeling paralyzed. Part of me hopes that these are all just hallucinations just because I dont want to be living in the type of neighborhood that would welcome events that would trigger such a terrible scream... but at the same time... I would hate to know that the medicine is messing with my mind again.
Also, I think I got a minor case of sun poisoning yesterday... After spending the entire afternoon walking around town, I came home and was unreasonably tired and felt like vomiting for quite some time--- though that never happened. Im 100% better now, but also very sunburned.
