Hospital

 My apologies for not writing at the end of last week. On Wednesday Scott began to not feel well, although he could not vocalize what felt off. When he woke up on Thursday with a pain around his left shoulder, we contacted his cardiologist and decided it was best to not wait.  Thankfully he is okay! After stress and tests, he came home with an appointment to go to the cardiologist office this morning. 

I was smacked in the fact with the fragility of our lives. Rationally I know that anybody can die at anytime. But living as a cardiac family adds a different factor to that equation. My cousin died from a sudden heart attack, as he was waiting for stents, last year. I suppose I will always be worried about his cardiac health because I know that life can and will change quickly. 

On Friday Robby called from school and it was clear that he was sick. He had a diagnosis of strep and a prescription for antibiotics but no means to get the medication. It turns out that there is no pharmacy within walking distance and ride services are few and far between. I managed to get him picked up, tucked into his bed and the prescription filled before our pharmacy closed. By Saturday afternoon he was already feeling better.

After a week off for the snow, today schools are back in session. I wish I had a few days to recover from the past few days, but that is not possible. Wish us all luck today!
