There will be a short intermission as we re-group from the last several weeks. It all began when my grandma passed away the first weekend in October. A week after returning from her funeral, I got mastitis. The next weekend I had severe pain and will soon have an ultrasound to determine if I have gallstones. Parker got a peanut M&M at our church Halloween party (we didn't need to go to the hospital because I think we caught him on the first M&M) and then this weekend he fell off the toilet and hit his head on the tub. He was knocked out cold. We took him to the ER and had a CT Scan done. Thankfully, there was no internal bleeding or injury, but he did have a concussion. He wasn't able to keep anything down for 2 days and we began to worry about dehydration. He seems to have almost entirely recovered tonight and will just continue to get his strength back in the next few days. Of course, throughout all of this, Jamie was traveling 4 days a week for the last 3 weeks.

Know that we are okay, just tired and a little overwhelmed. We are grateful that nothing was worse than it was and that each of these events were over a weekend so Jamie was home at the time.

Bring on the holidays!!

Wow! If you need anything, please let me know. I owe you.
I had emergency Gallbladder surgery on Christmas '05, Tug was just two months old.
Stay away from the greasy, oily, and fatty foods... oh and the beloved chocolate. :(.... at least until you get the surgery. Gallstones SUCK! I dealt with them all throughout my prego with Tug. HORRIBLE!
Let me know what you need.
