22 degrees, partly cloudy and 25% humidity!


In a day of 22 degrees and 25% humidity, Jim had his first shave on his own - the effort left him so tired he had to have a nap afterwards! His blood pressure has stabilised and the medical team hope to remove the drain tomorrow. They've had to keep moving the needles because his veins keep collapsing, so I'm sure he'll be glad to see the end of those!

He now has stitches in his arm to heal the laceration, and hopefully these will come out in around 5 days.

Sometime during the next 5 days they will move to a hotel near the airport and then as soon as Jim is fit to fly they will transfer to Lima to be at sea level.

Betty is doing well, but still in a bit of pain from the broken ribs - which will no doubt continue for a wee while yet.

    Will you be able to give a new address once they are in Lima? Thanks, Lisa :)
