Solitary Confinement

Friday, May 22, 2009

Do you know of any good books? How about any movies you've seen recently? Any crossword puzzles or word finds, sitting around that you want to donate? I'm pretty sure Kelly will take anything at this point!
Kelly has been quarantined to the guest bedroom. No, this is not some form of spousal punishment by me! He started feeling sick on tuesday. He had a temperature of 101 F, had the chills, sweats, coughing, sneezing, stuffy.....the works. It kept progressively getting worse, so he finally went in to the doctor, telling the staff the reason he was in was for "flu-like symptoms".
A swab was shoved halfway up his brain, and the doctor gave him the profound diagnosis: "You have flu-like symptoms."
It has been confirmed that Kelly has Influenza Type A. He has been hooked up with Tamiflu to help him as he battles his germs. In the meantime, we await results from the state lab to see if he gets to join the group of Swine Flu Statistics from the CDC.
Kelly has avoided us (especially Noah) in hopes of sparing us the sickness. An infant with the flu can be a very scary thing. Please be praying for our little family: That Kelly would overcome the Flu quickly, that Noah and I would stay healthy, and that Kelly's mental state wouldn't decline too much! (There's a reason that solitary confinement also serves as a form of punishment!)
