Mexico

Leaving for Mexico was so hard, as it was two years ago when we went without Orrin. I knew that Orrin would enjoy his time with my parents, but I was nervous about Leila. However, I think it was harder for me than it was them we left as she slept and I cried as soon as I got to the door. We drove up to Boise the night before and got to have a lovely time with Todd's cousins, got up early the next morning to catch our flight. We arrived in Cabo and enjoyed our first day there and that night the fun began. Todd had been feeling a lot of pressure in his head and had a hard time breathing without it hurting. I knew he had strep throat but he didn't believe me. We were in Mexico so I had just planned to run down to one of the many pharmacies you see and grab some Z-Pack, but we were told you now had to have a prescription for that (A LIE) so we figured he would just tough it out like he does at home. Well after a night of shivering and not being able to get warm we decided to call in a doctor (so scary) it only cost $60 and they doctor came to our room, opened up his fishing tackle tote, listened to Todd's lungs, looked at his throat, wrote a prescription, and left us without telling us what was wrong. I quickly got the prescription filled and babied my sweet husband hoping for a quick recovery. It only took three days, but finally Todd was able to leave our room and do something, even if he still wasn't feeling that great. We ate WAY too much food (poor Toddey couldn't taste it,) caught little scampering crabs as they tried to get back to their holes, and enjoyed our time without having to change a diaper (ok I enjoyed that since I change the diapers, but still!) I am so grateful for the opportunity of going down there (Thanks Dennis and Sandra,) and that we got to do it without the kids (thanks mom and dad,) it is so nice to kind of recharge our batteries both as individuals and as a couple!
