"ayi duramos vario rato asta que sele calmo el ogvio y la tos."
Could this be "ahogo"? Earlier in text, it's mentioned that "estaba aogandose con la tos."

Hard to tell Roxanne but it IS terribly written.
Tos would be cough but "ogvio"?..who knows. Might it be "agobio" (panic or panicky feeling).
Good Luck with that!

el odio? / hate, rage ?
No sé explicarlo en inglés. A lo mejor estaba furioso, etc, etc. Y alguien se apiada de mí y lo traduce :-)

Hola Roxane
¿Podría ser que ahí estuvieron hasta que se le calmó el obvio [ataque de] tos?
o tal vez
¿hasta que se le calmaron el agravio y la tos?
o quizás
¿ahí estuvieron hasta que se calmó Elodio y... luego le sobrevino la tos?
Bueno..... seguiremos pensando.
Buena suerte y saludos del Oso ¶:^)
