On the way back to Negril, Ras asks if I want some fish...

[img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/70402-thinking.gif[/img] I like fish, but I really just want to get home. What I say is 'yeah, I like fish.'
He stops at this market, and the car is bum-rushed by people trying to be the first to offer their goods. [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/eek2.gif[/img]

Now I keep forgeting to mention the problem I had with these dang Travelers checks I spent almost 40 minutes trying to get [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/mad.gif[/img]

Nobody doan want di check dem. Nobody caan cash the checks dem, and I keep running out of Jamaican dollars [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/helpsmilie.gif[/img]

When O'neil came to give me my phone all I had was the travelers checks, I signed one over to him, and on day 2 calls to say he can't cash the thing [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/frown.gif[/img] That was the day I went to Hi-lo, so I had JA money. He came to my room and exchanged it for the check I had given him, and put more time on my phone for me so all worked out there.. [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/cool.gif[/img]


SO, I am sitting in the car looking at these people desperate for a dollar and I can't help. [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/frown.gif[/img] All I can say is "I am sorry, I don't have any money." When the words pass my lips I feel foolish. Coming from where I do, never having had to hustle like these beautiful people do for one meal. I feel like I should buy something, anything... But if O'Neil could not use a Travelers Check I am sure these people can't either. [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/frown.gif[/img] They see that I am not buying today, and one next car pulls up. They all run to that car, and I am left with my thoughts.

Imanni is in the back sleeping, he seems to be breathing a little better, although the cough persists.

I take out my camera and sneak 2 pictures...

Re: As Deep as the Ocean...

We keep driving for a while, and I snap a few pictures, but nothing really cool.
I did take some video, cause we mussi been going 100 miles an hour [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/eek2.gif[/img] [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smirk.gif[/img]
IRIE FM was blasting, and the roads, and the pot holes...
It was a fun day, all in all.

I will post all my video at the end when I get to work, cause I can't upload it from home. [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/frown.gif[/img]

best for last right [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/wink.gif[/img]


A little ways outside of Negril, Ras stops and says he's going to get some Veg I think [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/70402-thinking.gif[/img] I look at him [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/confused.gif[/img] and say ok.
He leaves the car, and I look back at Imanni... He is awake now, and his breathing has slowed [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/70371-jump.gif[/img] [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/70384-praying.gif[/img]

When Ras comes back he has a bag with 4 Veggie patties. ahhhh... [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/70459-idea.gif[/img] [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/704555_dwl.gif[/img] The bag was so hot you could not hold it, but Ras takes one out anyway and starts to blow and bite. Now Imanni chimes in what's that??? Ras cools him a bite, and Imanni LOVES it [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/70377-loveeyes.gif[/img] Ras says I can have 2 of the 4 [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/cool.gif[/img]

We stop at the Pharmacy in Negril and I get cough medicine on my debit card.

Ras drops us off at the Hotel... and we make our way to the room...

Re: As Deep as the Ocean...

It might have been Kia, I really don't know where we were either time we stoped [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/70392-silly.gif[/img] and I did not ask... [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/frown.gif[/img]


I was more concerned about getting Imanni home, but I tell you those were the BEST Patties I have ever tasted!
I wish I knew now, where the Ras got them [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/70394-bawlout.gif[/img]

Re: As Deep as the Ocean...

We get to the room, and set everything down. Flip off our flip flops, and flop on the couch... [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/704555_dwl.gif[/img]

Whew, it is only 4pm and I am wore out [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/crazy.gif[/img]

I take a look at Imanni, and he is still not breathing right [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/frown.gif[/img]
I give him some cough meds and another dose of his inhaler.
He is in good spirits tho, and not ready to sleep.


Swedish and I sit on the Veranda, and I take pictures of what I can see of the sunset from my room...





I take more pictures of the grounds from my little place in time...







I break out the Patty, and lawd it was sooo good... [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/hungry.gif[/img]

Swedish says she is going to go, and I walk her out...


Imanni and I call it a night early, I think we were asleep by 9pm [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/70394-sleeping.gif[/img]

Re: As Deep as the Ocean...

I wake up the next day, and I can't believe it is Thursday. Imanni is still sleeping, and I say a prayer of thanks that he did not go into a full blown asthma attack. I watch him breathing, and I am satisfied he is ok.

I slip out of the room and hit the kitchen to start the coffee. I bet ya'll can guess where I go from there [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smirk.gif[/img]


Yes, onto the veranda [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/70371-jump.gif[/img]

I watch the raking of the beach, and my mind drifts down towards Bar-B-Barn... I wonder what he is doing, if he is awake this early, what he would say if I ever saw him again... I can't believe I am going home in just a few days [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/frown.gif[/img]

I force that thought from my mind, and Imanni comes to the sliding door.
He is all smiles, and I can see in his face he feels better [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/bannana_purple.gif[/img]

These are some of my favorite pictures of him:

Re: As Deep as the Ocean...



Bandi, if baby boy had a full blown asthma attack, what would u need to do if the inhaler isnt enuff?

that is just down right scary.

[Bandana]

Re: As Deep as the Ocean...

Nylah we have made 2 trips to emergency here in the states where they gave him breathing treatments and prednizone (spelling?) a steroid that clears the lungs... [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/frown.gif[/img]

Neither of witch I had in JA [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/70361-embarassed.gif[/img]

Re: As Deep as the Ocean...



lawd have mercy Bandi [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/eek.gif[/img]

why wont they (U.S.) give u prednisone to walk with when u travel?

**kissteet**

that is tough cause u cant panic otherwise baby boy is gonna see u panic and make the whole thing worse.

just glad he came thru it okay [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/70459-hugs.gif[/img]
