Hanging in there

What a week this has been.  I think I wrote that we took both boys and hubby to the doctor and learned that we had H1N1 in the family.  The doctor wasn’t too concerned about my hubby or Justin but of course was very worried about Kyle.  He told us that if Kyle started vomiting, having diarrhea, running a fever, being lethargic, etc. to call ASAP.  Tuesday I went to school and about 11:00 our nurse called.  She has been our nurse since May of 2008 and has NEVER called me.  Kyle projectile vomited across the room, was pale and lethargic and had had a runny diaper.  Called the doctor and we took him in to get checked out but I packed bags before we left b/c I knew we’d be in the hospital.  He was negative for Influenza A and B and we still don’t know about H1N1.  Part of me hopes he had it b/c he recovered well and if he had it he can’t get it again.  Two days of IV fluids and antibiotics turned him around and now we’re “home” at the hotel.

It’s probably a good thing we were in the hospital b/c I think our builder has called me 10 times in the last 2 days w/last minute questions.  The good news is the house will be done and we’re moving on Saturday :)

I just hopped on the scale after my healthy lunch of McDonalds and it said 224.  If that’s true I’m thrilled b/c it’s 3:00 in the afternoon, I ate an entire bag of Chex Mix yesterday (sodium, anyone??) and have lived off of animal crackers and peanut butter.  I’ll see what the scale gods say tomorrow.

    Girl! I dont know how you do it. I hope everyone gets better and STAYS better. We are finally over being sick and it’s just too hard and stressful.

    Countdown to move in! I cant wait until you get your elliptical going and the stress relieved. I’m excited for the new journey you’re about to be on. It’ll be great!

    Oh gosh brandie! Glad to hear Kyle is doing better and that he recovered so well. Hooray for moving in on Saturday… it’s about time! :D Considering all that has been happening, it sounds like you’ve done an excellent job keeping tabs on your weight. You should be proud of yourself!

    Gosh, you really get your share of stress, don’t you? I suppose you get hit so much because you bear it with such grace.

    Glad he’s okay, glad the move is set for Sat, glad you’re holding up so well!
