Thursday

The Crud Hits our House

Easter Sunday Dan wasn't feeling well so he stayed home to rest up while the girls and I headed to Kasson to visit my grandparents for Easter.
When we got back home I found Dan in bed running a 104.4 temperature! It was quite scary as he was a bit delerious and wasn't quite sure what was going on.
Grandma Sue was able to come up and sit with the girls while I took Dan to the ER to get checked out.
After several hours, three bags of fluids, a gammet of tests, a round with the nebulizer and some pain meds that finally knocked him out it was determined that Dan had Influenza B. The doctor told me that Dan was not to be left unattended for the next 24-hours and that he needed his temperature to be checked every hour to insure that it was not peaking again. I was really worried about him, especially when they told me that people die from this!
A HUGE thank you to my mom for staying the night to take care of the girls so that I could attend to Dan. I was worried that after taking care of Dan that I would make the girls sick if I got too close to them.
An even BIGGER thank you to my mom for staying through the next day and night as well since I ended up getting sick too! She became a master at chasing after our sicky butts with the Lysol spray! Knowing what we were dealing with my doc was able to get me on the meds right away to keep the fever down so I didnt have near as a bad run as Dan did.
We are now at Thursday evening and we are just starting to get back to normal. Dan and I have both been home from work all week and have been struggling with not being as snuggly with the girls as we like to be.
We thank our lucky stars that neither Tehya or Ada have gotten sick, and thanks to everyone that has called and checked in on us. I think we are finally ready to rejoin the world of the living!
