Kicked to the curb...

You may have noticed that no one's been around for a few days....we've been in and out of hospital with Aimee this week.

On Sunday night I took Aimee to the hospital with a really sore throat that she was sure was a very bad case of tonsillitis. She was only partially correct. It was really bad, temp 104, Strep throat. After three glorious hours in the emergency room of our local hospital, she was diagnosed, medicated and sent home. We stopped at the 24 hour pharmacy on our way home so that she would have what she needed on Monday when the next dosage of meds was required.... Monday, Aimee took her meds but was barely able to swallow due to the pain and when things weren't any better on Tuesday morning a return trip to hospital was in order. Aimee was admitted to hospital, fed intravenously saline, changed anti-biotics and morphine for the pain. That helped tremendously. Due to a shortage of beds they released her later in the day with pain meds and new antibiotics, with a promise from her that she would do her very best to stay hydrated. Today she is feeling much better. Throat is still sore but at least she can swallow. Next step...removal of those pesky tonsils. Once she is healed completely we will make the appointment for surgery to get this overwith once and for all!

Good news...Jennifer got her first supply teaching position. Today she is working as a grade 7 & 8 replacement teacher. It's only a temporary position, but it's a great start and I'm sure she will do wonderfully! Her only concern was that those grade 7 & 8 kids might eat her alive...I'm thinking that won't happen but I'll keep you updated.

Brianne's still in big doodoo! Her English teacher finally wrote me today to advise that Brianne had not completed her english assignment. We have an appointment to speak on Wednesday morning at 7am. That should be fun! I can't wait! I've never had to meet with a high school teacher before! I can't wait to hear what she has to say!

TTYL!
