Within the first year we were here in Cambodia, we (my mom, Serah, Maly, Me, Liz, and Monichea) went to Thailand for a mother daughter time with couple of other families. The night we came back we had some people over and we played outside. Catherine and Frances were chasing each other till catherine came crying saying she stepped on a big thorn and our mom said just wash it off and I will take it out. So about an hour after that Serah came in and said where's Catherine and they didn't know she was still in the bathroom and my dad called from outside and no reply. He was about to knock the door down but then catherine managed to get up and unlock, but after that she passed out. She was blue and cold looking so they headed up to Kampong Chnang until the U.S embassy called them and said the SOS hospital has some anti-venom but they had to know which snake it was so my mom and Michael (a friend) went back with her and he was looking around then he found a snake on the ground. They took the snake back to the Hospital and they matched it up and it all matched and luckily they had the anti-venom. So they care-flighted her to Thailand and she got treated and stuff there. Oh BTW (by the way) if you are wondering were the rest of us are during all this we were at the Roberts house and they watched us for eight days.
