Friday 7pm UK time

Louise apparently developed a dengue rash yesterday and that alongside having a drip into her hand is making her very uncomfortable and is stopping her sleeping. Her skin feels very sensitive so the sheets are itchy too.

She's been very caringly looked after by our Mae Sot friends today. Sylvia took her in and settled her. Popo, who cleans the house, visited and took her a book to read. 2 friends from the Mae Tao clinic office brought her gnocchi. Pho Cho and Neeshar from Say Ta Nar School visited with their children. Neeshar set to tidying the bedsheets and got Louise to eat an orange and gave her other fruit. GA went to Canadian Dave's and brought the crackers she loves and Dave and Chulee sent her in some butter cookies. Lisa went to homestay and brought in Louise's ipod and a book and other things she needs then went home and brought Noh Kerry and her sister to stay the night with Louise.

It was a good sign earlier on Friday evening when Louise laughed at her Noh Nohs (Noh -= sister in Karen language) and took their photo because they were huddled together under a white towel because they were finding the air conditioning freezing cold.

So she's being very well looked after. However, it's 1am and she phoned because she can't sleep. I so wish I could be with her but thank you dear Mae Sot friends for taking such good care of her. You are all so kind. Sheila
