I’m live-blogging my SAS EuroBonus SkyTeam Milion Mile challenge this week. Click here for background and route information.
Maybe all that ice cream in the Saudia Lounge was a bit too much? Augustine appears sick and now I’m looking at pausing the trip…
Augustine Gets Sick…
We arrived in Kuala Lumpur after a very pleasant flight on Saudia from Jeddah. Augustine was in a great mood going into the flight after enjoying the eight-hour layover in Jeddah eating ice cream, drinking hot chocolate, and watching the iPad (along with some homework too).
During the flight to KL, Augustine only wanted a bowl of fruit after takeoff.
He then went to sleep and slept for the remainder of the flight (about seven hours), which made sense considering he did not nap in the Saudia lounge or during our Saudia flight from Tunis to Jeddah.
We landed in Kuala Lumpur and he seemed to be in a good mood. Yes, he slept through even the landing, but was then happy to walk around KLIA a bit ahead of our KLM flight to Jakarta.
Before boarding, he suddenly became tired again and said he wanted to lay down. I told him he’d be able to sleep shortly onboard.
We boarded our KLM flight and all of a sudden Augustine looked at me and said, “I need to go the lavatory. NOW. I feel very sick.” I asked him if he needed to vomit and he nodded, then made a beeline for the lavatory.
He emerged five minutes later, looking a little pale and confirming that he had vomited.
But he said he felt better and settled into his seat.
And in fact, he start giggling right away watching some cartoon on the IFE screen.
But moments later he was asleep…
So I’m not quite sure what to do here. Maybe this trip truly is too much for him and we just need to take a few days off in Jakarta.
But I’m hoping it was just too much ice cream in the lounge…
I Hope he will improve.
If you press on, does he know what he wants to do with his million miles?
Keep going. Kids recover fast!
Vomit is very acidic and damaged the teeth. My mother, if I vomited, would supervise me to rinse my mouth thoroughly then to brush, ti dislodge all food particles.
Any fever? Diarrhea could be next but sometimes one episode of vomit and it’s over and resolved.
Where’s the masks?
Yup. Often lost in our quest for miles, points and status, our bodies may not adjust well and we need to be in good physical shape. Even short domestic flights can be brutal if it involves delays. Get well soon.
