So Jed was out by the driveway building a garbage stand. They don’t use large trash bins here instead they just pile everything on a wooden platform that stands 5 feet off the ground. Ava was out there watching and was our family’s first victim of a sting of some sort. Both Ella and Ava have had a rough go of things in Brazil. When we first arrived the Simon kids were running fevers and it didn’t take long for it to get to the girls. Ella has the record for our family with a 104.5 that a Tylenol/Motrin combo couldn’t touch. It is just not the same keeping kids cool in a tropical climate with no air conditioning. I was anxious. I lost a night of sleep and prayed a lot. I knew this was going to happen sooner or later I just had not prepared my heart for it to happen on Day 2 in Altimira.
In the picture Ava has some bug bites but they really are not that bothersome.
