Shigella

Yes we found out that pretty much everyone who went to Guatemala got Shigella. My dad and Colton were tested and found positive for it. The doctor in Oregon told us all to get on the medicine asap because it is highly contagious. The good/bad thing about me is that I have a mild case (thank goodness), but I can't take any medicine because I am pregnant. So I have to let it run its course and pray it doesn't come back. What can you do?

Poor Matt told his boss and they told him not to go to work until he is treated for it. No one wants to get it. So he has the next few days of work off. I wonder how long it takes for him to go crazy...

Will is so nervous about catching it. I think he will be fine. We have a lot better hygiene here then in Guatemala. And now we know the symptoms and what he needs to be tested for, just in case. Will thinks that the name should be changed from shigella to adding a T in between the I and G.

Matt and Mickie's last day in Guatemala was spent sleeping because Mickie was sick...

I forgot to mention. Jason's first doctor would not give him medicine. So we took him in to another doctor and she said with that many cases of it we are just giving him the medicine.
