So a few days ago Jared got sick. REALLY sick, and then he decided to go to the doctor on Thursday, but the power was out all over, and he couldnt find a clinic. So he called Friday to go in. The doctor decided it might be meningitis, and did a spinal tap. Sure enough it is meningitis. But lucky for us it looks like it is viral, so that means it isn't highly contageouse or nearly as dangerous as it could be. But he still was admitted into the hospital for observation, and if it does turn out to be bacterial. The day he checked into his hotel I checked into mine.
I'm staying at my moms for a few days. That way she feeds me and takes care of my kids. It was great this morning because she went to bath the kids and I lay back down and fell asleep. Then the next thing I know she is traipsing into the room with hot lunch. Yum. Plus it had sides and juice. Way more than I would have had at home. Also I don't have to change the diapers or practice bedside parenting!
I do miss being home and will probably spend my days split between home and my moms. If Jared has a long work stretch I will likely come down here, and on the days when Katelyn has school I will do my best to get her there. I will do this as long as I can physically get around, or until ordered to stop.
We also finally got the mess in our bedroom taken care of. We had a leak issue, and much of the wall and all the carpet had to be replaced. We have had our bed in the living room for a month. We will move back in and start rearranging furniture when we can, and when we get help. I can't do anything, and Jared will be restricted for a while. But things are moving forward and it will be great to get that room back.
My spirits are much higher, and I'm getting excited. I will be 28 weeks this Tuesday, and that is a huge milestone for the babies. Plus that means only 2 months (8 weeks) until my goal of 36 weeks. I'll post a pic Tuesday after we take our weekly growth shot.
