So, a week ago I was in Nice, now I am tending the sick...more on that later. The weather was perfect, warm but not hot during the day and cool but not cold at night. Our hotel was in a good location considering the price, and although the water smelled in the bathrooms it was really safe and comfy. Erica, a friend from my language class and fellow aupair, and I had a fun time walking, exploring the city, and just relaxing on the beachfront with fresh fruit from the markets. We also visited Cannes just west of Nice. It was even prettier than Nice, but quite crowded due to the Film festival that was going on. We couldn't walk through it b/c we didn't have badges...but it was fun to watch. The trip was almost too short. We had a great time and were both a little apprehensive about returning to work. Which leads me back to the sick. Amandine has had some type of Cold off and on for the last 3 weeks. Tina also got sick...we thought that was just a cold but as it turns out it is...the Measles. Yes, that is right. Apparently vaccines do not last forever. There is a chance the baby has also gotten this, but we can't tell yet. The doctors are hoping that she is immune b/c she should have gotten a little of the virus through the milk...acting like a vaccination. Lets hope so. Even worse, the family friends were around just a few days before. Their son is in the process of major chemo therapy to the point of shutting his entire immune system down. So, it is really quite dangerous that he has been around Tina in the last week. Please pray that he does not get the Measles as well. At this point it could be extremely dangerous for him. So...pray that everyone gets better. Goodbye for now. I will update when I know more.
