Simon

 

 

 

Two weeks ago Simon and Rachel flew to Los Angeles to get the correct Rabies vaccine for Simon who might have, but might not have, been bitten by a rapid bat on the playground of his Gamboa school. 

 

 

 

 

 Because the necessary Immunoglobulin was nowhere to be had in Panama and they needed to act quickly, they took a night flight into LAX where Sam picked them up and got them to LA's Children's Hospital Emergency Room at 2am where the proper shots were administered--Simon being very brave throughout the whole process.

 

 

 

 

Highlight of an otherwise difficult journey was being with Maddie and Max, Sam and Jess--lots of play time together and lots of Lego's for the kids, even a dinner out for the grown-ups.  Good to have each other.

 

 

 

Simon watering our poor lawn in Burbank, but the little lemon tree is bouncing back to life because of that.  Thanks Simon!

 

 

 

A little bouncing himself--on our bed.

 

After the last shot tomorrow, Rachel and Simon will fly back to Panama and to David and Gwen, patiently waiting for them and missing them.   Brave souls all.
