The Road Less Traveled

• Mar. 29, 2008 - Flu, Flu, Go Away!

Posted in Family
I sooooo look forward to the day when our family is done with the flu!  Uggg.  For the last two weeks, my husband has been sick.  For the last week, my oldest son has been down.  Tuesday, my youngest became ill.  All three of them have needed medical attention.  The youngest has both ears infected, and was placed on antibiotics on Wednesday.  He seemed to be getting worse, so last night resulted in a trip to the ER.  Fortunately, he is all right.  The doctor said to just continue the antitbiotics, give him ibuprofen and acetaminophen at the same time (I didn't know you could!) and keep an eye on him.  I've had cold symptoms, but praise God, no flu (so far)!  I'm so grateful that the Lord has kept this from me.  I would not be able to care for the boys if I was laid out!

In other news...  The Lord has answered our prayers regarding a long coveted desire.  My husband is finally working daytime hours!  No more leaving at 5:30 p.m. for work, then arriving home at 8:00 a.m.  Yay!  This is the first time, ever, that we have existed on a normal, permanent schedule.  Before taking his current job, he worked with a company that sent him on the road regularly.  For approximately two weeks out of every month, he was gone.  He went directly from that, to vampire hours.  Now, it's daytime, weekdays, all the time!  No more living like night owls, with the boys not wanting to go to bed before midnight because they want to stay up and see Daddy when he comes home.  This does take some getting used to!

Sorry to hear your family is ill. It was such a relief when my husband went to day shift during the week. It did take some time to develop a new routine though.
