Things have gone from bad to worse.
Last night Joey-Lynn got very sick. I ran out and got a themometer and her temp was 38 after two hours it was 39.... she started shivering and then vomitting so I had our guide call a doctor he knew. When he arrived an hour later her temp was nearly 40 and her pulse was over 130 beats per minute (she´s normally about 65). He checked her oxygen levels and it was really low. He put us both in his car and drove us straight to emergency. She was admitted around 11:30PM very weak. They started her on an IV and lots of drugs. They gave us a private room with a bed for me to stay with her. Last night was the first night in days she slept right through. This morning the fever broke and when she awoke she cracked a wise ass comment so she is definetly better this morning than yesterday. Her colour is back and she is making progress. They plan to keep her here for a day or two.
Obviously I canceled the rest of our trip and our group left for the jungle this morning. We will be heading back home as soon as she is able to travel.
Hell of a pre-honeymoon!!!

Crap man. We've been waiting for some updates but none of us expected to see anything like this. Keep close to her and don't worry about nothing here. You get back when you're back. Take care of that woman!!!
