Ok first I need to adjust my spelling - it was a ROTAVIRUS not ROTO - ehhh 6 of one, half dozen of the other... ANYWAY!! Ethen was discharged late afternoon Weds and we went to doc Thurs afternoon for a re-check/follow up.... It was touch and go on him that first night but he managed to make some progress before the doc appt so we didn't have to go back in... This virus is especially ugly this yr... Saturday there were 25 kids in the ER w/it and while we were up on the Pedi ward a couple of kids were discharged and came right back again the next day... I will say that it's a very very distinguishing odor involved and it's definately one you will NEVER forget... But we are just THRILLED to be on the road to recovery again... We have a follow up follow up appt this afternoon to see when we can rejoin the general population and start over at the center on base.... Yes, we have given up on the home care providers and are going to use the center on base.... I am pleased with what I have seen of the room he will be in and I just feel better about it... The last lady he was at the 3 days before he got sick just didn't give me a warm fuzzy from the $$$ issues to the fact that quite possibly he got sick from her place/under her care..... He wasn't really feeling her and I wasn't really feeling her.... Plus she seems to have some health issues of her own and will be needing medical care that will require her to be closed for an extended amount of time in the near future... *sigh* I am tired - it's been a long and exhausting journey for sure!!!!
On happier notes - we are all doing pretty well although the boys are still a bit off schedule and it will be a bit before we are back on track again... Overall things are good - we got about 16 inches of snow over the weekend and I look forward to throwing the boys out in it for a bit this afternoon... Tomorrow is Valentine's Day and it's my one year anniversary since I stopped smoking - we are gonna do something special for that - not sure what yet but we are going to celebrate - the boys and I....
Not too much else to report - I need to get my desk straightened up so I can head out door in a bit for doc appt... Til next time...
