Last weekend was an interesting one. Keith had stomach pains starting Thursday night. It got pretty bad Friday night but he had a test for work on Saturday and he wanted to make it through that. He finally decided to go to the Emergency Room Saturday afternoon. Steph and Carl came down to watch the boys and I drove us up to the hospital. By 2:30pm the Doctor was pretty sure it was appendicitis but they needed to do a CT scan to be sure. After drinking the appropriate liquid and waiting the appropriate hour and half, they took him down to get the scan. It came back positive that he had appendicitis.
I went home to help put the boys to bed and went back to the hospital for the surgery. He was taken in around 10pm and in recovery by 10:30pm. Apparently, it was on the verge of bursting which would've been much worse with a longer recuperation time, so it was good we got in when we did. I finally got to see him in his room around midnight. He was groggy and tired but asked me to take a picture. I looked at him like he was crazy but took a couple anyway. Here they are!
We giggle every time we see them. You can too. It's ok.
Keith got out of the hospital Sunday morning and all was right in the world of the MacMillans....until Wednesday.
The emergency room was filled with people with H1N1. We haven't gotten our shots yet so I was nervous about either of us getting it and giving it to the boys. Wednesday morning Keith was supposed to go back to work but instead woke up sick. The boys had already been battling colds and ear infections so we didn't know if he had gotten something from them or from the hospital. Keith went to the clinic and they tested him for H1N1. It came back negative but because he was exhibiting a few symptoms of it he was diagnosed with it and given Tamiflu. I am Clorox-wiping EVERYTHING and washing every one's hands numerous times a day.
Keith is now feeling a little better. Connor is better and Andrew is at the tail end of it. Maybe this week will be a better week!
