Fever, colons, mosquito bites, oh my!

This has been one heck of a week in the Stueve household. Poor Mom with her infected, red mosquito bites. They got so bad we had to take her to PrimaCare and see the doctor. This is how bad they got! Mom's Legs She had to get anti-biotics and anti-inflamitories. I seriously feel so bad for her and how much they hurt. I’m sure when she gets back to CA, the cool moist air will heal them right quick!

I had another diverticulitis attack and Brenna caught a virus that gives her fever. I am not sure if anyone else is going to get it..I hope no one does. That would suckith even more.

Mom leaves tomorrow around 12:30 and I will be sad to see her go, but I know she is eager to get back to cooler temps and her cat and not so eager to go back to work. Michael Jon has enjoyed having Gramma around and asks her when she is coming to bed at night. I guess he also asked when she was going home so he could sleep in his own bed too! Ha..he’s funny.

I’m on anti-biotics again! My blood work from the doctors yesterday came back showing infection, but no elevated white blood cell counts, so no appendicitis, but more than likely diverticulitis. One more attack and I will need to have the bad part of my colon removed. My doctor doesn’t want me to have to resort to that, but I don’t want to live the rest of my life with waiting for the other shoe to drop, or in this case, the colon to pop. Ewww..sorry about that, sounded better in my head.

We want to go see Harry Potter tonight, but don’t know if we should since Brenna isn’t totally well yet. We don’t want to take her if she still has fever, but don’t want to leave her home by herself either. On the third hand, we don’t want to expose a babysitter to her germs either. Oy. I hate dilemmas, they suck.

Mom and I are off to lay down for a bit. Hopefully she won’t get more bites while she rests. Hasta!
