64. I Is this the beginning of the end? I Freedom Sailing

This episode see us face a horrible time with Nina coming down with a mystery illness. Doctors perform countless tests including two MRI's, X-rays, Ultrasounds and over 15 blood tests. Her blood is cultured for possible issues and also tested for Lyme disease (from Ticks) we are all tested for Covid. She is administered several types of very strong antibiotics via her intravenous drip line and while so many illnesses and issues were being discounted , its still not obvious as to the cause. Our insurance excess is huge so we must blow large amounts of money on this as she is in a private hospital . The doctors, specialists and staff are incredible and attend to Nina's' (and our own) needs with professional care and compassion. With Covid keeping so many borders closed along our intended passage home we are now faced with the very real question of whether we have to get real and pull the pin on our family adventure.
