From relaxing weekend to the Hospital!!

We've been having a lot of 'junk' go through the house.
I have Bronchitis, Morgan is on an antibiotic, and
then Kalen started sounding 'tight' on Sunday.
I rushed him into the Clinic on Monday AM~
nurses were scrambling and the Dr. was concerned
but after a Neb. treatment and steroid shot
he settled down and we went home.
But Monday PM, his breathing was getting really
labored and his temp had spiked and it just wasn't going well.
I took him up to the hospital again and
they admitted him.
He spent the next 30hrs under the 'tent'!
Not the most willing patient~ but if he attempted to do
much of anything, he was wiped out, having trouble breathing,
and back under the tent (and usually sleeping)!
In the 'tent' w/ a cool mist
Sid brought the kids up to see Kalen on Tuesday night
(Mom was missing her kiddies!!!)

We hung out w/ Kalen in the room~
THANK YOU!!!

Kalen was given some very nice gifts while he was in the hospital!

AND THEN....

Wednesday AM, while we were waiting on discharge papers,

Kalen received a very special call.... from his classmates!!

They all said HI together, and then one-by-one

they said a special GetWell Message

and Kalen had to guess which classmate was talking!!!

It took him awhile to get the hang of it (plus scratchy phone reception)

but Oh, if you could have seen the smiles on his face!!!!!

He talked about it and SMILED for quite a long time

after the call!

THANK YOU, MRS. BOEKHOUT AND CLASS!!!!

I'm so glad he's feeling better. Lots of junk going around. How sweet of his class to call.

That didn't look like much fun--glad to hear he's doing better! We've been lucky so far and have not caught any bugs, but I have a hunch it could be any day now... :)

Looks like you had a great time at the Conference! You look like your mom! Probably good to get away for a few days, huh? I had a few friends that went also, and had a great time, too.

See ya soon---hopefully at the grocery store and not at the clinic! :)

I hope everyone is feeling better at your house. Yeah, the weather didn't cooperate for travel this weekend! Dan actually won't be coming at all. We have to make it back in time for their check-ups on Tuesday so we'll be headed back that way. Thanks for the offer though! I hope you have safe travels when you get to go!
