We Were Sick!

Well, it has been a while since I last updated Kellen's blog...but, school is almost finished so I will make a better effort from now on!!

Last week was pretty scary here...both Kellen and I were not feeling very well. We both had headaches (mine was really, really bad), the light was hurting our eyes, our necks were sore, we had fevers, and we both ended up with a body rash. Shawn took us to the hospital and we were put into isolation....turns out we had viral menningitis - how scary!!?!? Even worse, they thought it might be bacterial (since my first spinal fluid test showed signs of bacteria), but thankfully, it was only viral. We stayed in the hospital for 5 days - which was horrible because I wasn't allowed to see Kellen this whole time (thankfully, Shawn was with him in pediatrics) - and we have lots of blood work done, and had IV's in our arms the whole time. However, we are both feeling great now and are finally getting back to normal.

Being sick sucks!!!

Holy Crap! Are you two okay now? Being hospitalised must have been awful but not being allowed to see your child who is also in the hospital...I can't imagine how nuts I would have been. Give Kellen a ug and kiss from me. Take care you!

Love the new look to the blog, Claire. Happy you and Kellen are both feeling so much better - we were all worried for sure.
Kellen, you're adorable and I can't wait to see you soon. Please come visit!
