I hadn't planned on emailing daily, just to reassure you all. However, just for some laughs, I thought I'd share day two in Canada....
It all began at about 12midnight when Daniel awoke and asked why it was dark when it was already morning. Before I had a chance to explain, Laura was up complaining that Nathan's coughing and snoring was keeping her up. (They're all sharing a room). Four hours later and we finally had them back to sleep. We crashed into bed and the next thing I know Howard was yelling, "Oh no! nnnoooooooo!!!" It was 10am and he was late for his first day of work. Ten minutes later and he returned with a ghost like look on his face. Our car had been inpounded (Loooong story!) At that point Nath walked in as white as a sheet and nearly past out. He was in tears and in pain and shooting a temp. To cut a long story short, Howard did not go to work but went on a grand adventure with Laura and Daniel in tow to retrieve our car, while I went on my own adventure with Nathan and one of Howard's work collegues wife to explore the Health system in Canada (which by the way is not too bad). Nathan has two ear infections and an infection of the throat. The doctor said he would have had a pounding headache and gave us two courses of antibiotics (not the norm apparently) because he was concerned that I might not find a drug store (chemist) and wanted him to start them straight away.
It is presently 10pm, the kids are still lying wide awake in bed as the sun is as bright as they are. However, we are blessed. We have our car, Nath is hopefully on his way to recovery and we still have smiles on our faces. Thank you for all your thoughts and prayers.
Love from your adventuring friends, the Ebans.
