Hakan has moved to Germany with his wife and two children. He will work on getting his citizenship there, and travel back and forth to Kusadasi for work. He is in a similar situation that Tolga lived with me several years ago, not working, foreign country, little money, and so on - but more complicated as he must learn German, and he has two young children as well.
He called Tolga yesterday crying because of a dream he had. He dreamed Tolga was dying, and he kept telling him he was fine. He went to the grave, and wouldn't leave the coffin because Tolga was still talking to him. People told him to go, they must bury Tolga, and Hakan shouted:
Then bury me with him!
So dramatic, and so dear.
Tolga is fine, as far as we know, but Teoman seems to have the flu. We had gone to the doctor yesterday because his tonsils were swollen even though he'd just finished a round of antibiotics. We got home, and he started crashing - getting body aches and a headache. This morning her already had 101 fever so Tolga brought him to the doctor. He prescribed a new antibiotic and a three hour rotation of acetaminophen and ibuprofen. In the evening, Teoman took his medicines then through them up about an hour-an-a-half later. His fever was 102 and his breathing sounded funky so Tolga brought him back to the hospital. The doctor was concerned, did a couple of swab tests, but all came back negative.
He slept in our bed all night, his fever hovering at 101 most of the night. Our poor guy.
I hope he's okay now -- did you check if he has an allergic reaction to the antibiotics? That is a possibility. Poor guy! Hope he sweats it out and gets back to normal soon. LOVE
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure - he's taken it before, so I can't imagine he'd suddenly be allergic. There are some nasty viruses floating around in Turkey -superbugs. He is doing better I guess, fever is mostly gone, but really lethargic still :( Thanks Ellen
