Where I Have Been

I’ve been missing from most online activities for the last 2 and 1/2 weeks. And it was all due to sickness.

 

A couple of my kids have been sick for about 3 weeks. I’ve been sick for about a week and a half, and my husband and 2 more kids have been sick for the last week. We’ve had multiple visits to the doctor and multiple medicines.  This cold, or the doctor said possibly the flu, got a grip on us and led to sinus infections, and bronchitis for the whole family, a pleurisy for one kid. I am now referring to it as “the plague”! Hopefully this newest round of meds will knock it out of us for good! We’ve had as many as 4 of us in the doctor’s office at once. I took a pic of our feet because we were too sick to show our faces!

 

 

 

 

About 2 1/2 weeks ago, my mother got really sick with Strep Meningitis. She has been in intensive care this whole time, at a hospital 2 hours away from where we live. Today, she is being moved to a continuing care hospital about an hour away from home for inpatient therapy before going home. She will be there getting intense respiratory and physical therapy for about 4 weeks. At least she is a little closer to home, making it easier for all of her family to visit. The doctors are expecting a complete recovery, but at 79 years old, it just takes a body longer to recover. She’s wearing glasses to protect her identity!

 

 

One of my sons has not been able to visit her at all this whole time because he has been too sick to go to the hospital. The rest of us haven’t only visited a few times. We are so afraid to pass this sickness to her!

 

So I am back working online now. I have lots of great posts and giveaways coming up!
