Hi everyone:Patty has had several ups and downs in her health this weekend. As I write this, she is feeling nauseous, shaky and weak, but is mustering the energy to spend some time with the kids and to socialize with friends. Her cardiologist suggested that salt consumption isn't a problem -- in fact, for Patty, it may be a benefit -- so Cindy and I stopped at Farm & Fleet to make sure Patty was covered off on the salt front. The picture captures Patty's excitement about the gift.
Today has been a bit rough for our girl. Patty vomited this morning, and has been running a low-grade fever, which we think might be symptomatic of the newly diagnosed lupus. Yesterday, though, she felt pretty energetic for much of the day and evening. Regardless of her condition, though, she was happy to be in her own home.
Today, we have the kids around the house and are being close as a family. With daybreak we expect another round of hospitalization, provided the hospital can find a bed. With any luck, we'll soon have more information about lupus as it relates to future plans for Patty. Also, with luck, we'll see the antibodies make a departure.
Connor came home for a visit on Saturday and went out for mini golf, batting cages and go-karting with his Uncle Neil and I. It provided a nice diversion for a little guy who is having a rough go these days, although there was an injury -- Neil redirected a 65 mph fastball into the top of his foot, causing a delightful blue hematoma. I'm planning to try to come up with something fun to do with all of the kids today -- perhaps more go-karting at another place?
Things are a bit chaotic around here right now, so perhaps I'll be back with you later on.
Love,
Brian
Sharing a laugh Sunday evening
Connor the speed demon -- he knew which car was fastest, and proved it
