TRAVELERS SICKNESS??

Well, we had our first official visit to the San Lucas Toliman Medical Clinic-Hospital.

One week ago Mackenzie came down with a fever and a sick stomach! We got to ride in the back of a mission truck to the clinic. Thankfully, Chris was going to the clinic as well -- not thankfully that he was sick, but that he´s fluent & could translate for Mom & Mac!! Let´s just say it was AN EXPERIENCE! She was much better in about 24/48 hours.

And I think so that Mackenzie didn´t feel all alone, Sean decided to spike a fever, too. He ended up pretty sick. Although the clinic was closed in the evening when we realized he wasn´t himself, there were the mission volunteer doctors, and one was able to get him on Cipro within a couple hours. He´s doing great now. He took one day off work and got on the Internet to catch up with all his friends that he misses TERRIBLY.

Thankfully, it doesn´t appear that either child ended up with the amoebas. Thankfully, too, we came here with the attitude that most likely we would all end up sick at one point or another.
