The dangers of mosquitoes





Suky went out to visit these children's mother  yesterday.  It seems that her husband has begun drinking, 'playing the field' and meeting with 'old pals', so they have separated.

Unable to earn enough at her day job to take care of her children and her brother, she has begun working in a Karaoke bar in the evenings/nights.


It seems that Saharat was not at school when she called, because he has some very worrying skin problems, probably the result of being bitten by mosquitoes and then scratching...and the baby has some similar, but less angry looking patches, too. (We may have to look at how we can try to prevent this, also.)


The children need to go to the hospital, and Suky is free to take them tomorrow morning.  We're trying to firm up details with Mum.  We have no idea how much it will cost, but we'll give you the report as soon as they've seen the doctor, O.K?
