Those Darn Pigs.....

Wonder where I've been?? We have been down for the count...with swine flu. Last Sunday morning Hunter woke up at 3:45am with a fever and a sore throat. I took care of him, gave him some motrin to make him comfortable and quarantined him into the playroom! Immediately packed a bag of Halle's things, texted my Mom and let her know that we were on our way. I dropped Halle off in the wee hours of the morning ...and as the tears flowed all the way home...I kept telling myself that it would only be a couple days. Boy, was I wrong!

I took Hunter in and he tested positive for the Flu A...which they assume is "swine flu"....and so the week began. He was confined to our playroom with a TV, playstation, cell phone and a nurse that visited every 30 minutes. Bringing the baby home was taking FOREVER and I missed her terribly. It took him a couple days to kick it and finally by the 4th day he was ready to come out of confinement...which worked out well....because Chandler came home from school not feeling well and after a round of lysol....Hunter was released and Chandler was admitted. That should give you an idea of how we got to Halle living at my Mom's for 6 long days. It was good that I was busy taking care of sick kids or else I would have gone crazy.

My Dad took pictures of my sweet Halle and I am not sure if it was good for me or bad. What I could see was that of course she was being loved every minute but, it broke my heart that she would become more alert, start to babble and sqwak while she was away from me. Not to mention that her sweet little face changed so much while she was gone.

Finally, it seems whatever gunk we had has made it's way through...I am just hopeful that we can keep the illness to a minimum this winter so...sweet Halle can stay with us......where she belongs!
