We're in Saigon - Ho Chi Minh City. Dave's small little boil has encompassed his right thigh. The doctors in Hue & Hoi An... The promised reduction in infection never occurred. It kept growing. The travel insurance help people put us in touch with the Family Medical Practice (a private clinic / hospital in Saigon). I'm in the May hotel in Saigon - at least for the next two days.
He's going to be on antibiotic drip for at least the next 5 days as of this writing. Yes, we've been having adventures even while this thing has been happening. I'm just not ready to post the happy stuff at the moment. I haven't since Hue. I've just kept looking at this infection grow. Everything after Saigon has been cancelled at this point - at least I'm not having to negotiate a Visa extension at the moment.
Exotissimo - GREAT travel agents! The gentleman, Mr. Quoc Minh, who made (& subsequently has cancelled) all of our travel arrangements is taking care of my hotel needs and has found where I can make international phone calls at airports. Their guides & drivers have been extraordinary. They've been tremendous fun & a lot of support & help - with pharmacies, calling doctors, updating Exotissimo as to where we were, taking care of lost reservations. I can't recommend Exotissimo enough for the quality of people they've brought into this play Dave & I are going to give a name to. Maybe we should start a contest, "Name This Vacation."

Lance,
Thanks so much for your comment. Dave will get a kick out of hearing from you & know you guys are following the blog. He's doing much, much better, thank you.
Tom, Kim, Ben -
Thanks! Talked to Steve & Patsy today. Gave them the update & hope it's gotten passed through the family grape vine. I've just gotten back to the hotel, so haven't even had a chance to call Dad yet to let him know how much better Dave is.
Thanks for the comments, guys. It's wonderful hearing from you.
