Sickness in Cusco – By Kat

The night before last night my family and I went to the grocery store.We had to go down hill to get there,so we had to go up hill to get back.  When we got back we were we very exhausted.Kane felt very bad like he had a migraine so he went to bed.  And I felt very bad too so I went to bed too.We had altitude sickness.In the middle of the night I woke up,I woke up because I felt terrible.I did not want to wake up my mom because Kane felt very bad and ended up sleeping with her,but I felt so bad that I had too.My mom said that my father would take care of me then she yelled to my dad to help me get better.  My dad gave me Ibuprofen then I got some water and went to bed with my father.Then after we slept a little he asked me if we should go to my bedroom with two beds.After a while of sleeping I asked my dad for a glass of water.  Then I felt so bad that I needed it that instant.  After I drank it i said to my dad I feel like I am going to throw up!   Then I actually did throw up!  Then my dad tried to get me to the bathroom fast enough so i wouldn’t throw up on the floor but  I already did.  Then he got me to the bathroom and i still needed to throw up some more,so I threw up in the toilet it was the worst night of my whole life.  Then we went back to bed.  In the morning I felt better I was so happy!

  1. I am so sorry you all had altitude sickness!! I had that in Mexico and thought I might die!! It was funny that I had a headache and vomited the whole time we were in Mexico City, but, the minute our plane landed in Kansas City, it all went away!!
    Thank you so much for calling today. It was wonderful hearing your voices!!
    Love you all, SO much!
