Whoa

This past week was really long. I guess it started about this time last week when Henderson had a high fever. Stephen was leaving for Argentina on a week long hunting trip, so I decided to go ahead and take Henderson in to the doctor before the weekend. After about 3 hours at the doctors office, it was determined that he was suffering from a viral thing that included a sore throat. Everyone at the doctors office was wonderful and I can't say enough about my pediatrician, but it had to have been the worst visit to the doctor we have had yet. We waited in the waiting room for an hour (by far the longest I have ever waited). Henderson did ok there, but it was all down hill after we got back to see the doctor! Anyway, I'll spare you the details.
Kathy was on hand to go to the store for me (and brought me dinner and lunch!) and then my mom came into town on Saturday afternoon. I am just going to comment one more time about how thankful I am to have these two women to help me. I really, truly couldn't imagine not having the help that I have from them. My hats off to those who go it alone!
Henderson really started coming around on Sunday and Monday and is doing fine. Dad came to Valdosta on Sunday to help out too. (He didn't come on Saturday since he was at the Auburn game. Great win by the way! Wish I could say the same for the Dawgs). It was a treat to have both of my parents here for a few days!! I had a couple of different meetings during the week and work so my mom had her hands full. I also started to feel pretty run down by Wednesday, but luckily today I feel ok (and it hasn't turned into any sickness). Stephen made it back home safe and I am thrilled. They had a great trip. I am going to try to get him to post something about his trip on the blog! I am looking forward to a weekend of unwinding. In true Granddaddy style, my dad took some great pics of HHL and they are up on his Picasa website. I posted a few here...
