We decided to have a go at this leg of the trek despite none of us feeling too well. Wanda has got mild fever, Eddie had 38.3 C and I had 38.1 C in the morning; we left late to try to get some medication from the first aid post, but it was closed.
Eddie seems to have pulled a muscle in the hip and can't walk without painkillers. It was foggy to start with in Namche and, just before the final ascent of 550m, it started to rain.
We arrived very late, at 5:45pm, and again we are running high fevers, Wanda 38.1, Eddie 39.8 and me 39.9C.
Eddie started to develop other symptoms -dizziness, sore eyes and we have to accept it is mild AMS. We hope we won't need to descend to get rid of it, but we are going nowhere in the next 2-3 days.
