So my vacation has started out busy by buying a car for our youngest son and coming home to find him sick. Took him to the emergency room last night because his fever was 102.8 degrees and his heart was beating so fast. The nurse recommended we bring him in because of his asthma. Here we go -- put him in the back seat of his new car, his sweet little girlfriend in the front with me and we were off. Upon arriving at Kaiser, we were ushered into the room with lots of beds and he was immediately diagnosed (after a few questions, pressing here and there and the condition of his body) with the H1N1-better known as the swine flu. They quickly hooked him up with an IV for fluids and nutrients since he was very dehydrated and given medicine to help with the nausea plus help him sleep. He fell asleep so quickly. It was good to see him sleeping -- he had had a bad night the night before. We got home at about 2:30 - 3:00 this a.m. I was so tired. Thank God for his little girlfriend -- she was so helpful and attentive to our son. I could not have done it without her.
This morning he woke up refreshed and rested. I was so happy to see him like that. He doesn't remember a whole lot about last night. The doctor told us we brought him in early enough for them to treat him and send him home. He can't go to school or work for at least 7 days. But that's ok. I'm just so glad he's better. What a scare!
And now I'm exhuasted. Going to watch a little bit of t.v. and go to sleep.
Thank you Lord for all you do for us.
