Cabo Story

Ok- so I know this happened like 3 weeks ago.. but its too good of a story to just skip.

Jordan and I had the pleasure of going to CABO with Kylee and Cole. It was going to be such a sweet vacation!! And we were so excited. Kylee's dad had connections- so we were getting our hotel for SUPER CHEAP!! We also drove to Vegas cause flights were cheaper if you left from sin city. We even stocked up at Costco when we got there and ate most of our breakfast and lunch meals in our little kitchen. Basically- we were trying to save as much money as we could.

Here is us getting to Cabo and getting our rental car. (which we also got a great deal on)

We got to our Hotel and settled in.


Then we went on a quick trip to Costco and loaded up on some food. We decided to eat dinner there too. (Maybe jordan got sick from the food this night???)

Well a few hours later Jordan wasn't feeling too good. And sadly, he got "the runs"..... Poor guy. I thought it would pass within a day. Well- one day went by... then two. We decided to go to go to the doctor at our hotel. He gave Jordan a shot and some meds and sent us on our way. The bill total: $390 USD.
Jordan felt better- for about 2 hours.. Then those "runs" came back. Not good. It was when I walked into the bathroom- saw him puking and shaking- that I decided this was serious and I called our doctor crying. The doctor rushed down to come meet us- and told us Jordan needed to go to the hospital. :( I was devastated, and I felt so bad that we hadnt called the doctor sooner. So off we went.

Our little "NUNS" hospital. Seriously though. The back of the hospital was a nuns convent. The nuns were so sweet.

Jordan wasn't able to eat or drink anything till his intestines started working again. (The doc explained it and told us the the intestines has little hairs that soak up all the nutrients we need... but because Jords has "the runs" for 4 whole days those hairs were wiped away and his body needed to repair them.

Here is his first time eating soft foods. He got green jello. It was yummy- I had a bite


Here is where I slept during our 24 hour stay- it was actually pretty comfy


And we have moved on to solid foods people!!!!!! Big step!!!!
Well- after over 24 hours at the "clinica" (and over 4 bags of IV'S...) Jordan was given the ok to go home. I was THRILLED!! All that was left to do was pay the bill..........................

After over $3600 bill was paid- we were back at home.

We had 1 full day left in Cabo and wanted to make the most of it... so we went surfing!!!!!

And on Jordan's first ride- he landed randomly on a sea urchin that tore up his hand.

Jordan and Kylee spent over 2 hours trying to get all the little spines out of his hand. He didn't have ANY luck on this trip.

After our plane flight back- he was exhausted- and yet so happy to be back on US grounds
I don't know if he will want to vacation much in Cabo anymore haha... (at least I got some sun in the long run- the only thing I was able to do was lay out at the pool when Jords was sick in our hotel room.)

  1. That is too bad. International hospital not really the best. My dad was in one in Italy and after 4 hours of waiting in the "ER" where crazy bar fights and such were coming in, they took his blood sample because he had an infection in his arm. 2 days letter they went back because it was bad again and the blood that had dripped there 2 days ago was still there dry on the floor. Not very sanitary.
