Well, after a very eventful last day in Taipei, we are very happily home! We'll post pictures later after we unpack and find all the appropriate cords, etc. We arrived home at 9:30 this morning and the girls were very, very happy to see us and there was lots of bouncing going on! They made a great sign with Grammy that said "Welcome Home Little Brother! and Mom and Dad". Now all is peaceful as David naps and the girls have quiet time. David has settled in immediately and is completely exhausted. We'll wake him up in a couple of hours and try to get him adjusted to our time zone as soon as possible. He did very, very well on all the flights and only got fussy towards the end of the second one.
Our last day in Taipei did not go as planned. . First, Josh set off for the AIT about 11 am when I put David down for his nap. He called at 12:30 to say that the visa said 'female' and he was sent away while they tried to fix it. He eventually got back to the hotel at 2 pm with a visa for a 'male'!
Meanwhile, David fortunately slept for the entire three hours because I was becoming a close and personal friend to the toilet in the hotel room. I couldn't stop vomiting. Josh came back and asked the front desk where the nearest doctor was. They sent us to the Taiwan National University Hospital Emergency Room. Not exactly on our list of must-see sights of Taipei. The doctor and nurse we saw were very understanding of our need to leave the hospital by 6:30 to get back to the hotel and pack and go to the airport. They hooked me up to an IV and tested my blood and gave me two different times of anti-vomit medicine. The second one worked and I puked for the last time in the taxi ride on the way back to the hotel.
While I was in the hospital, Josh had to run around town trying to change money to pay the hospital bill (we had very cleverly spent most of our Taiwanese money at this point!), finding food for David, going back to the hotel to get the stroller, etc.
Apparently it was something I ate - most likely some chicken at a coffee shop. So, is the moral of the story that I should have eaten pork?!
