Europe

We are currently at one of our European Replenishment Centers in eastern Europe. Due to security reasons, I can not tell you the exact location.

Cupid is currently being attended to by the medical team. She grew very sick on the last leg of the Asia continent. She said it started with stomach cramps but by the time we completed the leg and entered Turkey, she was having all kinds of stomach issues. The pain was so great, she was beginning to shiver. I initially thought she had a fever but the doctors here say she is not running a fever. She has now been diagnosed with food poisoning... I believe it was the dried fish from a house in Daejeon, South Korea. The doctors are currently determining how severe it is before determining how to proceed. At a minimum, we know she is suffering from dehydration as a result of the food poisoning. They are currently re-hydrating her through IVs. We are currently 22 minutes behind schedule due to the medical treatment. Jingle & Mrs. Claus are currently deliberating back at the North Pole Command Center on whether or not we should continue on without Cupid, which will slow us down further, or wait on her, which may delay us even further.

We'll keep you posted. In the meantime, please keep Cupid in your thoughts.
