altitude apoplexy
-has passed as we now have the right meds for lessening effects of altitude sickness. turned out we have problems with standard med so will take steroids. look out. cdc travel bulletin on high alt. travel got our attention. meds are to control A.S. and to prevent death. we are busing up to high altitude so bodies won't adjust slowly. remember these are the Himalayas. therefore, our bodies have to work harder to uptake lesser amt of oxygen. stay tuned for how we do.
needle news
several shots - we have have had several shots (not Scotch) - typhoid, polio booster, hepatits A & B, check for measles immunity. script for malaria. for those of you contemplating travel, be aware you need to start shots 6 months ahead of travel to have full immunity.
we are not in china yet, just prepping to go. sorry if some thought we were.
