Brandon was hospitalized on Tuesday night with a funky infection in his skin called cellulitis. His right calf looks like it is sunburned and at one point, twice its normal size. He had been to his regular Dr on Tuesday morning but was steadily getting worse as the day went on even after starting anti-biotics. Lucky for us, we have a relative who is an ER doctor. We called him and he said to go to the hospital and plan to stay a while. Cellulitis is a bacteria infection that can get your bloodstream if not treated aggressively. That was Tuesday night, he is still there. I am trying to maintain a sense of normalcy for our kids and me. My bosses have been very generous by allowing me to come in late and use OT from last week to cover the shortage so I don't have to use all my vacation time to go to the hospital. The kids are going to school/camp every day. My in-laws are picking the kids up for me so I can go to the hospital. Parker knows her Daddy is sick and in the hospital, she gets to go see him every afternoon before she and Nanny pick up Grant. Grant is too young to understand so he thinks Daddy is out of town.
The doctors said this morning, at least one more day of IV antibiotics and possibly released over the weekend. Keep your fingers crossed. Happy Friday.

Oh my, I hope he gets better soon. At least you have help from family to. Glad to hear he will be home by fathers day and that you have an understanding job. How do you get something like that anyhow?? Anywas, get better soon Brandon!
We had planned to outside today and get some sun (by the way Madeline has only been out in the sun twice) this girl gets a beautiful tan even with sunscreen on--its amazing. Right now we have storms, thunder, and lightning. Just started. So my fun day that was supposed to be outside, has now turned to inside.
At least the housework is getting caught up..
have a nice weekend.

Oh my!! I hope Brandon is better soon. I've heard that cellulitis is not something you want to mess with, so I'm glad he is in the hospital. I hope you have as good of a weekend as you can!!
