Bad News!


Sorry for not writing for a while. I was sick - got some sort of stomach flue and basically stayed in the last 3 days here in Saigon.

Jason’s mom went to the doctor to get a check up - they found a tumor and is currently in surgery. We changed our flights slightly and still planning on flying out today to Cambodia.
I took a few pictures of the hospital where she is staying. YOU BETTER DO NOT GET SICK IN VIETNAM!. People smoking inside the hospital - well - there is not really an inside. There are no windows. Air conditioners in the rooms are installed for decoration and hygiene is something they never heard about. In the hallways they posted pictures from successful surgeries 7 years ago. Thank you letters and proud posting doctors. One positive note: The doctor in charge of Jason’s mom has studied in Germany and also speaks German. Hopefully he took some of the knowledge home to Saigon.
Sure to have better news tomorrow.

p.s. I would have posted this earlier from the coffee shop I was having breakfast in, but they block certain domains. No western news, blogs or you tube available here - the downside of visiting a communist country.
