The climate here is spring like cool-warm during the day and cold at night. From what we have experienced the health care system is good here: good doctors/specialists and clean modern hospitals. The health concerns that we (more specifically Bryan) have experienced are somewhat odd. But because knowing our little story may help others, I’m going to make a short-story, well … long. When Bryan was a little boy in Canada he was sick every winter with bronchial infections. He was put on antibiotics every year to help fight the bronchial and related ear infections. As he became an adult these problems disappeared, but when we moved to Cuenca they started coming back. After about 6 months of living here in Cuenca Bryan started developing a really strong cough, and his ears began giving him problems. His cough was so bad that it was interfering with his daily life.
He was losing sleep and spending much time during the day in bed. We couldn’t figure out what the problem was because it was much warmer in Cuenca than it was in Canada during the winter. The recurrence of his childhood health problems did not make any sense to us. We went to the doctor and he was put on antibiotics again and again. I was worried about the damage the antibiotics were doing to his system so we started seeking out a specialist that might be able to get to the root of the problem. We found an allergy specialist and after many tests we were told that the climate here was not good for him. The doctor felt that because the climate changes so much during the day (chilly in the morning, hot by the afternoon and cold at night) it was kind of shocking his system and causing an allergic reaction. We were told that moving to a warmer climate would be better for him. We packed up and moved to Santa Isabel which a small town in Yunguilla Valley – a subtropical valley about an hour and twenty minutes away from Cuenca.
As soon as we arrived in Santa Isabel Bryan’s health improved and his coughing totally disappeared. We were very happy about that and enjoyed life there, but after a year we needed to move back to Cuenca. I was very worried about Bryan’s health problems coming back, but we thought that if we rented an apartment in a large building it would be warmer and he would be fine. We rented a furnished apartment in a large complex for about a month before moving all of our things back. A few days after we arrived his cough started coming back. The apartment was warm, so I realized that the difference must have been due to the dry air not just the temperature. I started boiling water to put humidity into the air and within a half an hour his coughing stopped! I was shocked at the difference such a simple thing could make, and relieved to know that we could successfully live in Cuenca once again. When we found an apartment of our own and moved all of our things back we picked up a couple of humidifiers.
We put one right beside the bed so that Bryan could breath humid air all night long. He no longer has the health problems he experienced when we arrived. The air is dry here in Cuenca, we didn’t notice it at first but after a number of months our skin started feeling really dry. We were waking up with a lot of mucus because the dry air was irritating our lungs and nasal passages. My nose was even cracking on the inside. I know, that sounds gross but if you are having similar problems you know how annoying these things can be. I didn’t need the humidifier for a serious problem like Bryan had, but I’ve noticed that since we got it we no longer have the mucus problems and my nose is back to normal. We live in a second floor apartment, we have no problems with moisture. The humidifier does not cause any problems with mold because the air is dry the moisture put in the air during the night dries up during the following day. I think Bryan’s lungs are damaged from the health problems he had as a child, so hopefully you won’t experience the same problems here in Cuenca as he had when we arrived.
But if you are experiencing any problems due to the dry air, you might just need to pick up a humidifier. Update (March 2013): After purchasing the above baby humidifier in Cuenca, we ordered the Crane Ee-8065 Humidifier and the AcuRite Indoor Humidity Monitor on Amazon. Both are highly recommended. Just be careful not to drop the humidity monitor on a tile floor.

“This cooperation formalises the successful collaboration with Nantongpack we have enjoyed in the past. Thanks to a well-established and evenly spread sales network throughout China, thorough market knowledge, and warehouses in logistic hubs including Shenzhen, Shanghai, Nantong and Dalian, the company is the ideal partner for Mondi Speciality Kraft Paper. In recent months we have identified a lot of potential in Asia for our speciality kraft paper grade Advantage SpringPack Plus, which is produced by Mondi Dynäs in Sweden. Our joint research has indicated that forthcoming growth in the spring core mattress market in Asia1 is likely to boost the demand for packaging designed specifically for this purpose – such as SpringPack Plus,” explains Gerhard Pachler, sales director Speciality Kraft Paper, Mondi Europe & International. Advantage SpringPack Plus has been successfully introduced to the European and US markets in recent years. It is an extremely strong, natural brown premium paper especially designed for roll-packing and compressing goods.
It can withstand the force exerted by 10 to 15 compressed and wrapped spring mattress units. “SpringPack Plus provides a variety of benefits. In Asia for instance, non-woven and plastic materials are currently used for spring mattress packaging. Our paper will represent an appealing alternative on this market because it offers the same strength with less material, thus providing both economic and environmental benefits,” comments Pachler. At this year’s FachPack fair, Mondi Speciality Kraft Paper is exhibiting a paper grade formulated specifically for roll-packaging spring mattresses. Advantage MF SpringPack Plus, produced by Mondi Dynäs in Sweden, meets the demands of the industry by withstanding the force of 10 to 15 compressed spring mattresses and supporting efficient logistics. The strength of this paper grade has been demonstrated by lifting a 4.2-tonne container on a single sheet. This impressive test made its way into the Swedish edition of the Guinness World Records book in 2001 (13th edition, page 256).
Additionally, Mondi outperformed its own record in 2003 by parking and lifting a 9.8-tonne locomotive with one single sheet of paper which is not recognised as a Guinness World Record.
