Very rough day today. We were scheduled to see the Taj Mahal, but Nathaniel became extremely sick in the car just a few minutes after getting in. Pulling over on the side of the road in Delhi is very interesting and not recommended. We decided to return to the hotel. The entire ride back was full of screams and tears.
We were sad to miss the Taj since I had been asked our agency to carve the visit into our trip as soon as we knew we were coming here, but I'm blessed to have been there before and I know we will be back again as a family.
We spent the whole day in our hotel room. We tried to venture out to find some samosas (I've been on the hunt), but every place we visit says they don't have them at the moment....hmmmmm. We've eaten more westernized food here than we do at home.
After getting sick, Nathaniel did better once we returned to the hotel, but today was the first day we had screams trying to get him to nap and again this evening for bed. I was waiting for the hotel neighbors to complain saying we must be torturing him in here.
To end our post on an exciting note, Nathaniel is already picking up some English. He can say some numbers (courtesy of us counting the numbers in the elevator so he doesn't freak out), names of some toys and has repeated (and on an occasion or two) said mama and papa. Yep, had a few tears on that one.
Tomorrow we head back to the hospital to check his TB test and then to the embassy for his visa. We could use lots of prayers that the embassy visit goes smoothly and we are out of there quickly and with the visa!
