We are currently in the States for some business and the health of Gloria.  She was admitted into the hospital in Manila in July,  because of an active amoeba that causes acute diaherrah and vomiting.  It was so sever that she was in danger to dehydrate.  While there, there were blood tests and the Doctor informed us that she had e-coli bacteria.  Because it was a U.S. strain, the Philippines only had a medication that had to be given by intravenous method.  So, it took 10 days to finish that.

Immediately after her dismissal, we returned to the U.S. for some other reasons but the health problems for Gloria continued. It has been determined that she needs to have her gall bladder removed.  Hopefully that will happen shortly and we can return to the Philipines by the end of this month.
