When pigs fly....or produce frightening epidemics

What a week!! Tuesday: Jason leaves for CA; I decide Ben should go to Dr. tomorrow for cold he's had a week or so. Wednesday: Ben wakes up throwing up and shaking; I take him straight to Dr's office where they diagnose possible swine flu and admit him to hospital. Wed night: Jason flies BACK from CA after attending 2 hrs worth of meeting that morning. Ben is much better by the time he arrives. Thursday: spend all day at hospital and are discharged after dinner. Friday: Not sure what the day will bring, but I hope it's much less exciting! I told Jason last night that I felt guilty for feeling so "inconvenienced" by a hospital stay; a day feels like a thousand years in there and we were only there two days. Imagine the families that stay weeks or even months at a time!! We are certainly the fortunate ones and should count ourselves as such. We won't know for another few days if it's H1N1 (aka swine flu) and by then, he should be completely recovered! Thank you God for healing medicine and wise doctors...and your powerful touch!!

beautiful: healthy children
good: my OWN comfy bed!
