One perforated and bleeding ear drum later, all appears to be well. Thank goodness for antibiotics, even if you have to pry them out of the stingy, anti-antibiotic-resistance-epidemic hands of Belgian doctors late on a Sunday night. A la Sicko, we arranged for a house call and were able to convince Dr. Gysens that Josephine really had suffered enough to warrant amoxycillen (sp?). I admit I was embolded by a nice conversation with our doctor in Madison who said he definitely would have had her on antibiotics by now. After a short trip to the all night pharmacy (you have to search on Google to see which places are open late and on weekends; they rotate), we drugged her up and now she's on the mend. Hopefully she'll be back at school Wednesday. What's next you wonder? Good question! At least life here is interesting...

We are very happy that both patients are on the mend. Better living through chemistry, that's my motto. love Mom/Omi
