the sweet life » The Week That Was
We were all set to host a small Valentines-themed birthday party this weekend for Anna, but circumstances conspired against us. Last Monday Julie came down with a flu-like virus that knocked her on her behind with a high fever, chills and aches and pains. On Thursday she was still recovering at home and finally decided to go to the doctor. While she checked out alright after a battery of tests, and seemed to recover a bit on Friday, she woke up on Saturday with what looked to be a sunburn. After a call to the nurse she drove herself to the emergency room while I stayed home with the kids. The doctors did more tests and came to the conclusion that it was simply an effect of the fever, which she still could not shake.
Needless to say we had to cancel Anna's party. Luckily she didn't know we had a anything planned! Julie is still home from work today, but is feeling well enough that we'll throw a little party tonight with pink cupcakes courtesy of Grandma C.
And just back from the doctor . . . things look good (knock on wood). Should be able to return to work tomorrow. I just can't wait (seriously!). Thanks to my hubby for running the house (and kids!) for a week.
We're speaking again...
