Vacation Detour

3 Sep

We left Northern California for Seattle, Washington on Monday. We were on to cooler climes and a visit with friends before heading to Vancouver Canada.

My daughter and twin granddaughters.

Unfortunately things took an unexpected detour.

Lisa got sick and ended up in the hospital. A nasty UTI (urinary tract infection) which traveled to her kidneys, has her with an IV pumping antibiotics into her arm until Tuesday. So much for Vancouver. At this point we’re grateful she’s alive and healing. She was one sick puppy.

Near my hotel is an art museum with Chihuly glass.
Native artists and subject matter.
Powerful images from native artists.

It’s been a crazy week. We literally opened google maps and went to the nearest hospital. We lucked out. The doctors and staff have been amazing. We are so very grateful.

    Oh my!! Sending so much love and healing wishes to Lisa and love to you both – are you near? We’re in eugene – but will do all we can if you need “west coast” help xo

    So sorry to hear about Lisa’s illness. That sounds miserable. Glad she’s doing better and hope you’ll be able to enjoy more of your vacay now.

    Lisa is lucky to have found a doctor that diagnosed it so quickly. I was 17 and had a nasty infection. The doctors thought I had some sort of heart thing that would keep me in the hospital for a month or more. Took days for them to figure out a UTI had traveled to my kidneys. I too was a really sick puppy, with chills and then burning fever and weight loss down to 85 pounds. Please tell Lisa I know that pain and hope she gets well quickly.

    I follow your adventures weekly and enjoy peeking into your life, and love the pictures. Jeff, my husband, and I live in Progreso for the last 14 years, so a lot of what you write resonates with me—the good and the bad, and the just plane crazy. LOL ________________________________

      Oh wow, nice to meet you. She is very lucky and we are very grateful. Come visit in Bacalar. We are always looking for a house swap.

    Oh, no! But I am so glad Lisa is on the mend. UTIs are nothing to mess with, are they?
