Feb 3, More 'New Norm'

Stacy and I are adjusting to this new norm we have.  Sierra's swelling is still hangin' around. No real change since last week.  Taking the increased meds. Still has the swelling, but not as bad as it was. 

Now it is Lindsey's turn. Last night it hit hard.  Started vomiting around 9:30, and continued every 1/2 hour all night along. This morning it backed off to every couple of hours but she is still really sick. We are assuming it is a flu virus given how much sickness is going around the school. But we have to take it more serious that just the 'flu'.  She needs to keep her meds down and we need to rule out rejection, (which can act like the flu). She has also lost 6-7 lbs, which she doesn't have to loose. All the prednisone puffiness is gone and she now reminds Stacy and I of the pictures from June 2012, thin with sunk in eyes.  So, as we speak, Stacy and Lindsey are at the ER in Baker getting a chest x-ray, blood work, and IV fluids. California knows and is monitoring.  Stacy and I refuse to get to worked up over this. It's the flu and it will pass!  This also delays their trip to Calif this week.  She can not be going into biopsy with a fever, and vomiting.  So that will need to be rescheduled.

So now, we get her better, then spread it on down the line. Of course we are cleaning like crazy around the house, but the other 4 will probably get it.

Last Saturday was a blast! We had 5 games to attend, or coach.  Hunter had a double header, Megan had a double header in Union, and Lindsey had a volleyball game.  Stacy and I divided and conquered. In one of Megan's games, she did a pick and roll and bounced off a Union girl who was set.  It was really funny. She said it knocked the wind out of her and hurt her jaw.  The other girl never moved.

Hunter has a game tonight.

Hopefully things go well with Lindsey Lou.
