Crypto... what?

Well the tests came back and Andrew's positive for crytosporidium. It's a giardia like parasite often passed through public swimming pools-YUCK!. The good news is that Andrew is acting like he's feeling much better and there is medication for this, so once we start it hopefully within a couple days he'll be back to normal. Fortunately it's not as severe as giardia and does not have the potential to last months or years. So I guesss we're done with Cherry Hill for the season! Thanks for everyone's concern!

I am really glad to hear that Andrew is doing better, and that things aren't as bad as you thought they might be! I guess it makes you rethink public swimming pools for a while huh? Good luck with the rest of the recovery period!

I'm so glad that he's feeling better. I hope that he didn't lose too much weight--poor guy!
