absence

Sorry everyone for my long absence. Hubs spent a week in the hospital with double pneumonia, and during a CT scan to determine the extent of the infection, the found a pulmonary embolism (blood clot) in his right lung. Amazing stuff for a 29 year old healthy guy! He's still slowly recovering, very weak and often short of breath with very little activity. Progress is difficult, but they expect he will make a full recovery. I hope I never have to see my husband that sick again. Fevers so high he had full body convulsions so that he lost all muscle control and ability to speak... And a life threatening clot in his lung.

He is now on blood thinners, I was giving him shots in his stomach every night for the first week out of the hospital, but now he can just take oral medication to help dissolve the clot.

Crazy times, once again, in the Mommyhood! Lucy has been sick, on top of all of this, and hasn't slept more than 2 hours at a time in the last 3 weeks. Busy Mama... so busy.
