Maleria medicine

Yesterday, was the day to start taking the anti-maleria medicine. It comes in a tablet form and when added to liquid it dissolves.
Bodhi and Lotus got 1/4 tablet and Julian and Bella got 1/2 a tablet and I took a full tablet. OMG!!! Those kids thought i was trying to poison them or something. Lotus was the worst. She screamed for 2 hours afterward and kept trying to spit. I understand it tastes yucky, but she wouldn't drink or eat anything afterwards. I even tried bribing her with cookie dough and gum. For those of you that know Lotus, she even refused GUM!!!

Well, it's all over now, not quite sure how much they final got into their systems. But i hope for the best. This will be a weekly routine for the next 7 weeks, for the 2 and 1/2 weeks we are in India and then 4 weeks after. I also got a polio shot and Typhoid shot. Ouch!
