Conversation upon arrival in Guatemala City airport:
Lindsey: "Why are so many of the workers wearing face masks?"
Chris: "Swine Flu"
Lindsey: "Should we be worried?"
Chris: "Lindsey, we are NOT going to get the swine flu!!"
Fast Forward to Sunday...leaving Guatemala City (5 days later):
Lindsey: "Chris, I feel terrible!! My head is pounding and my throat hurts so bad."
Chris: "You probably just have a cold."
Lindsey: "Are we there yet (asked 14 thousand times on the flights...because I was so miserable)?!"
Fast Forward 5 More Days....Doctor's Office Calls with Test Results:
Dr. Leichner: "I regret to inform you....the test was positive for H1N1 (aka Swine Flu)."
-------------------------------------------
Although this really isn't funny, sometimes you have to laugh to keep from crying! So much has happened in the last week and I have so many stories to tell. But, I feel too sick to tell them yet. Please just pray that Chris, Eliana, and my mom don't get sick. We have been quarantined since Monday because my doctor was concerned I had it. Needless to say, we are going stir crazy!! On a really sad note (it seems petty but I have been looking forward to it for months).....I am not allowed to go to NYC with my sister Lauren on Wednesday. We had planned our 1st ever "Just Sisters" trip to help Leah move back home from NYC. I can't believe I can't go. Thanks for praying!!
Love you all,
Lindsey

Sending well wishes your way!! Praying for a speedy recovery!!
Oh my gosh! I can't believe you have the swine flu! I am praying you get better and don't pass it on!
Get better! I would tell Chris to wait on you hand and foot but maybe he should just slip you a few crackers and popsicles under the door! Just kidding!
Love ya!
PS ... I can understand about your plans...I would be very upset!
Hope you are feeling better soon, and the flu leaves for good - no passing it on to anyone else.
Sorry about your plans for the Just Sisters trip. I can only imagine how disappointing that is.
So very sorry! That is terrible. Hope you feel better soon.
Bless your hearts!!! I hope you both are 100% quickly. God speed!
