Repair, reprovision, recharge, reconnect in Nassau


I was most careful in my description of Idette's allergy yesterday because I know her children read the blog and did not want to worry them. But what started as a rash on her forehead slowly transformed her into a monster - well not quite. But her face was swollen, the forehead looked like she was about to become a unicorn, and the third day she could hardly open her eyes and her cheeks were swollen. So we did race to Nassau. 
The doctor gave her a series of antihistaminics and said it had been caused by the straw hat she had bought here and  had been wearing everyday. Of course they threw it away. She already looks much, much better. The rash is still there but the swelling has subsided. 
So now that we are all better, we have to invite them to dinner since they won the race.
In the meantime we are cleaning and washing (some are) while others are hooked to the Internet. We need intra venous wi fi.
