Last Wednesday our air conditioning gave out and we discovered from the repairman that our condenser unit had given up the ghost. The next three days would be spent by the repairman and our landlady trying to find a replacement unit. We have gotten by with fans and keeping activities in the house to a minimum. Five days in the tropics without air conditioning is no fun at all and we have a new found respect for those who lived here when there was no such thing as air conditioning.
Saturday night though Arianna started to run a mild fever and we never could get it back down. With the house so hot we were concerned both that the heat was causing her fever and that it was preventing the medicine from working properly. When we learned it would be Monday before the replacement unit would be available we started looking at local hotels so that Arianna's fever would go down in a cool room. We headed to the cheapest hotel we could find and after a dinner out put her down to sleep. She was very restless and our secondary hope that she would get a good nights sleep wasn't realized but her fever did come down and stay down. We are back home now and hopefully the A/C gets fixed today and everything goes back to normal.
