I am finally able to sit down and catch my breath!
TB is out of the hospital, thank God. He was discharged on Sunday morning, looking and feeling much better. I am so glad that we went to the ER when we did because I really think the infection was on the verge of becoming gangrous. The doctors and nurses took pretty good care of my TB although he really didn't get much rest. Once we got home, he slept for like 4 hours.
I am disappointed and sad that Linda never bothered to call her dad to see how he was doing. When asked about it, she said she "hadn't gotten around to it." That infection was life threatening and that's why TB had to stay in the hospital. I wonder if she'd have gotten around to coming to his funeral, God forbid?
The week was just jam packed with activities. TB stayed home to rest on Monday and I went out running errands and taking Kristin to the orthodontist.
On Tuesday, Heidi's senior picture was supposed to be taken and so we went to the hair stylist in the morning, went to a couple more doctor appointments and then showed up to have the picture taken -- and the road to the school was blocked off on both ends! Finally, though, I just drove around one of the signs and got to the school only to find that the power was out and Heidi would have to come back the next day.
Wednesday was hectic again. We had Dr. R in the morning, the allergist, and then stopped again to try and have Heidi's picture taken. This time it went off without a hitch and I'm sure the pictures will come out beautiful!
I'd been worried about TB going back to work because I was afraid he'd have to walk around too much and be on his feet. Luckily, the employers were understanding about it and it hasn't happened.
We heard back from the lady whose car Billy scraped in the parking lot. She had so many good things to tell us about what a nice, honest kid Billy is (all great to hear) but that the damage is going to cost over $1000 to fix...so we are reporting it to the insurance company.
So it goes.
I'm hoping for a very very quiet weekend!
