This time, I was the victim. Sunday night, I went to pick Tobin up from his Awanas class, and within the next hour, I was flat on my back with a high fever, chills, and an irritating cough. I've been out of it for the last three days and finally feel better tonight. I still have a slight fever but now my appetite is back and I feel like moving to other places in the house besides the bed, couch, and bathroom. My mom came to the rescue and kept the kids happy, did loads and loads of laundry, and kept my fridge well stocked with sick people food. Thank you mom!!
This has been horrible timing because the kids and I were scheduled to go to Boston tomorrow (Thursday) to visit my sister and her family. We've been looking forward to this trip for months and needless to say, Tobin and I are heartbreakingly disappointed. He was all ready to go "trucker treating" with his cousins on Halloween and was also super excited about his first plane ride. Fortunately, the airline was merciful and did not charge me a penalty to change my plans. I suppose the don't want me or my four year old coughing all of our germs on the other passengers.
So, as I gradually pick myself up off this sickbed, and start functioning like a real person, I'm continuing to pray that Tobin and Heidi remain healthy and ask that you join me in those prayers!!
