Feeling Better Now

I let you know that I was no June Cleaver and was hoping things would get better quickly, but they didn’t.  In fact, yesterday I felt horrible and was concerned that I was getting the flu.  I was extremely nauseous.  That’s certainly not what I needed, especially considering I’m headed to winter camp on Friday.

shoes
luggage
bedding
tools
yard decorations
lawn mowers
dishes
pictures and decorations for the home
electronics

Yeah!

Although I am still in the hospital, they took the IV out of Little Man’s head tonight!  We still don’t know what is going on, but they think it is viral.  We have had no fever since Sunday night and we are going home tomorrow.  He still feels terrible but I can deal with that […]
