We’re in the Bangkok Hospital on Koh Samui. Matt spent much of the day on IV and I spent most of it wrestling our emergency insurance into some useful working order so we can actually afford this private hospital and it’s US prices.  We did one of the two tests to confirm it is a Dengue virus (yep!) and will have another back in three days that tells us which of the serotypes (there are four) are involved in the disease.  I’ll give you the lowdown on all this feverishness soon, but rest assured so far Matt’s vitals are still solid. I’ll leave you with this photo. This is how hospitals, however good their care, make you feel.
