Sounds like a mawvelous place. I feel like I just had a little escape from my worries to Mexico reading your last 2 posts. Thank you.

Hope your stomach is on the mend. If it makes you feel better, we have all had it here. Barfs and mucho poopo. Maybe it is just a virus for you as well? I recommend some rum. Arrrrrrrrrr.

I am the visitor you were too ill to visit with! I am back home again. Even not getting to visit with you, I am glad I got to see your paradise. I recognized your spot because of all the bicycles out front! It was so wonderful to now have a face for each of your family members. We spent two afternoons at the pool and bar and found everyone just lovely. Keep writing! I also stopped by Mimi and Jonna’s, they were gone also, but I did take a photo of their Class C and left my business card with one of the waiters and ask him to tell them they had a visitor. Your family feels like a part of my family now. Thanks for saying Hi while you felt soooo bad.

Arg! Just wanted to check in with you all (yes, for the first time in months!). We’re now on the East Coast, on Hatteras Island, which is _almost_ as idyllic as the Yucatan Coast, though (hopefully) with fewer ‘canes.

I have been reading, and didn’t want to mention that vertigo was a symptom for when I was diagnosed with MS four years ago — but since it doesn’t sound like you have any other symptoms, you clearly shouldn’t worry about that. Hope it clears soon.

The kids are all well – can’t believe that like you, we’re still doing this after all this time. But our time is limited, as I’m applying to law school (after _finally_ getting a 90+ %ile LSAT) and so I want to make the most of our last year.

Lots of love to you, Jamie and the kiddos. I saw you post on Wunderground a couple of weeks ago, and had to laugh at how our lives constantly intersect.

Kit, You know we worry about your health, and if you take Jamie to the doctor this week, I hope you’ll get yourself checked again.
I hope you can get something to get you over this bout.
Lots of love and hugs,
mom

Check out this site I was wrong with the thought of , but you know your symptom so you could compare. http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/007186.htm#Treatment

Have you checked out the chances you may have West Nile. My brother had that last fall he lives in Saskatchwan and some people have been coming down with it in Ontario. The bad headache sounds so familiar, my brother thought he was having a stroke. I am not sure what the treatment was I think antibotics but he was 4 weeks getting the blood work back with confirmation, and he was at least a couple of months getting over it. I am sure you have lots of mosquitos in Mexico, so that could be a problem. Just a thought, take care. Marg Rowbotham Ontario

Shoot! How could I forget Intl Talk like a Pirate day and me just done ordering all kinds of FSM paraphenalia. May you be touched by the Flying Spaghetti Monster.

What you have sounds very much like my recent bout. Watch for dehydration, drink pediolit or some other electrolite solution.

There is a big boom (or a little boom growing larger) of ex-pats renovating colonials in Valladolid, maybe you guys are on to something. I never liked the town but that was probably an old impression. Go for it.

Kit, I’m worried about how many times you have been so sick lately – is this part of a Mexico living life? I’m sure you must be doing everything you can to boost your immune system???? It seems like FOREVER since we’ve seen you all and tonight I seem to be missing you all like mad!!!!!!!
