Once again it has been a couple of weeks since I posted. This will most likely be a shot post, as I am tired and ready for bed. Unfortunately, if I don't write this tonight, it will not get done.
As you have probably guessed from the title of this blog, someone is sick in the family. I will give you 3 guesses... Yes, it is Mark again! He has been sick for a week, and was put into the hospital today. It all started last Sunday with a fever. Lexi had a similar sickness during Christmas break, so figured Mark had the same thing, which I am still convinced that he did. Anyway, Lexi ran a temp for 4 days, then had a set back and ran a temp one more day. When Mark was sick for 3 days I figured he had the same thing going on. He felt some better on Thursday, and decided to spend some time outside since it was a nice day. Of course when you are outside you have to scoop the ice off the driveway, right? So he had a set back, and started running a temp again. Went to the Dr. finally on Friday. Mark was put on anitbiotics and some cough meds, because now he has a sinus infection on top of the flu. So Saturday comes and he is feeling better, so he has to change the oil in my car, right? So now we have another setback. This morning, he is feeling the worst he has felt the entire time, so I call the Dr. and he has Mark come in for an out patient Rx in the hospital. After we get to the hospital, they decided to keep him overnight, and push the fluids and the antibiotics also they are going to give him some steroids to decrease the swelling in the sinuses. His temp has gone from 101 to 99.2 when I left tonight. The plan is for Mark to come home tomorrow, and hopefully he will be on the mend.
The girls are staying with friends tonight, as I have to be to work at 7:30 in the morning, and there will be no one here to get them up and on the bus in the morning. I am looking forward to a full nights sleep with no kids or husband waking me up... of course the dog is still here, so will have to have a talk with him before going to bed.
One bit of new news is that Lexi is no longer playing the trumpet in band. She got pushed off the risers during practice right before Christmas and broke her trumpet (fortunately she was just using one of the school's). Her band teacher asked if she would like to switch instruments and she decided to play the clarinet. She is the only one in her class that is playing the instrument, and she is doing much better on it than on the trumpet.
Well, better get to bed. Keep Mark in your prayers.
