Alan woke up this am "feeling great". When we changed the dressing this morning, we got alot of infection out. (I will spare you all the lovely details on the color and the amount!)
His fever is gone.
So, we had to make a decision to see the doctor today or wait til scheduled appointment tomorrow.
We sat around all morning waiting on the nurse to call. LIMBO LIMBO. I was trying to juggle who was going to pick up the kids, were they going to Science Club, what to do afterwards, etc. Thanks so much to my good friend Julie L. who said, "Just let me know and I'll get them.". Love ya Julie!
Larissa's teacher, Julie S., also was great by offering to let them stay in her room after the Science Club meeting until someone could come get them. She even offered to bring them home. (I couldn't quite convince her to let them spend the night! LOL). Thanks so much!!!
The nurse finally called. Alan spoke to the nurse and the doctor. They said this is a GOOD SIGN and to wait til tomorrow to come in. When he goes in tomorrow, the doctor might lance it alittle more, might give him an IV to boost the antibotic, or might send him to a surgeon. So, we're back in LIMBO. Alan wants me to go with him to the doctor's, so, I've had to cancel Larissa's ortho appointment for tomorrow and now I need to find someone to pick the kids up from school tomorrow. (Bud and Jane W. - I'll be talking to you about this tonight at church!)
Its so great to be a part of a church family and to have someone who I can call since I don't have biological family closeby. Of course, my good friend Syndee would always be here for an emergency but she works on the other side of town. (Love ya Syndee!)
::sigh::: - ok, enough LIMBO for me today. I have got to get some work done now. I wish I could call in a sub for 3 days! LOL
