Happy Halloween

Jungle cruise

Potty stop in Vegas

We stopped for the bathroom at in n out in Vegas. Liz is doing well
and will be there until at least Sunday. Please go visit her- Utah
Valley Medical something in Provo.

Blood tests

They are taking more blood to see how thin it's getting as well as to
test for five possible markers that would give an underlying reason
for clotting- they don't just blame the medicine she was on.

Liz in hospital

Liz has been hospitalized for a pulmonary embolism! She's doing well
with the blood thinner cumiden but has to stay until Sunday to
regulate the medicine.
The culprit was some medicine she'd been taking.
It's a tiny blood clot in her lower left lung. She didn't have the
regular symptoms- no coughing or shortness of breath. She just had a
little pain in her lung, thought it might be pneumonia or pleuresy.
She's at Utah Valley Medical Center e577. Valet park at the front of
the building

Chocolate soap

I made this soap yesterday. I'll cut it into pieces today and it will
take about a month for it to cure. It's actually chocolate orange
flavored soap. Another batch I made with coconut oil from the
Philippines textured with some beach sand.

Headed out!

This is the clinic we finally found. We went to another 'clinic' but it was really a spa. This clinic ironically, is next door to the atm! Imagine that!
They prescribed some oral antibiotics that were quite expensive so I'll try to find some cheaper ones.





This is Shoko, Nanjean, and Kate making the truffles for Fridays. It was awesome because she pre-did every step of the process so it was like a TV show and she would pull out the next step immediately. Shoko had never done chocolates.

We are leaving Fridays for a van, to a boat, to a van to the Kalibo airport for 615 pm Saturday night flight to Manila. Spend the night in a hotel. 815 am Sunday Manila to Tokyo (615 saturday night Utah time), then to Portland and home around 1 pm Sunday. Please have Sunday dinner ready.
