Interesting, very full weekend.
Thursday was my birthday. Tried to do some school with the kids, and help cheri get her house put together. Late afternoon i started feeling sick. Took some meds and Went out to eat yummy chinese with good friends. I sent shaun home with the kids and stayed with my friend for the night, hoping some good sleep and quiet would help me get better overnight.
Friday i was super sick, and spent the day trying to recover. Stayed in bed most of the day. Had shaun keep the kids at home.
Saturday conference we spent with friends in st anthony. I was still sick, and probably should have been home in bed. But, we had this day planned for a month, and i really didn't want to miss any of it! I had conference packets for the kids, and treats as positive reinforcement. We did 7-up chicken and potato salad for dinner, and even managed to catch most of the priesthood session too!
Sunday conference started at home. We were hoping to be able to go back up for the afternoon session, but i wasn't feeling any better, and michael was throwing up (he was unable to keep even tiny sips of water down.
We called the home teachers later, and got me, shaun and michael blessings.
Monday we took me, michael, and ashley to the doctor. Ashley was starting to come down with what i have, and michael had been throwing up everyhing for 24 hours. Did a cbc on michael, elevated white count, and dehydrated. We decided on the more aggressive route, a pushed iv fluids, with some fenegran for the nausea. He's doing better, but we are going to keep a close eye on him.
Ashley and i have an upper respratory thing. We both got antibiotics, and i got a steroid shot for the tightness in my chest. I can breathe easier now.
Even being so sick, i think it's the best birthday i've ever had!!
