I think we are all over this six week flu bout. Finally! I just realized we went from crisis to crisis since last November. It started with Grandma and the nursing home abuse, and then she went to be with the Lord in January. At the time Matt was in NM at her funeral, our dumb sweet dog lacerated her paw and needed CONSTANT care... which lasted over 4 weeks. This was when sickness crept up on us a bit with Eric the first week of Feb., and then came out full-blown when Matt came home with influenza on Feb. 20th. Everyone but Amanda got it, and Caleb worst of all. I mean WORST. And that wore on all of us.
Anyway, I took Caleb to the Doc, and he is still in recovery-mode, but needs to be seen in four to six weeks to check his breathing and his lungs. He kinda' "pauses" when he breathes sometimes. It was scary when he had a 106' fever and did it. and then, the past week, week #2 of influenza, he started saying his chest hurt, and, well, that was a concern. I am so thankful the doc cleared him, tough it was with reservation.
The next photo is the day of his Doc appt., and you can tell he is much better! We were happy to meet with the Suarez's for a couple of hours.
I also am hoping to give away 20 of our hens (I think) - at least 10-15 to a friend locally. I have not spoken to her in awhile, and I need to dig out her email and ask if she wants them. (Bethany, if you still read, email me!) I also have a bunch of roosters, and while we wanted to butcher them, we didn't get to, and I am open to trading a couple for some butchering services, if anyone is interested!
Oh, and we got the tax check, so getting that budgeted and deciding what we want and what we need and what we can afford - I am hoping school supplies/books/etc. fit into that! - that will all be another math, decision-making, maturity load-full of lessons!
