First, my aunt contracted Legionnaires disease while in Italy shortly before flying home. By the time she got home, she could barely walk and was extremely confused, so off to the ER she and my uncle went. A mixture of three antibiotics, two weeks in ICU on a ventilator and a whole lotta prayers later, she was moved to her own room and has kicked the infection. Now comes the long road to recovery. She can barely get out of bed without huffing and puffing, and needs physical therapy to get her moving again, but she'll make a full recovery. Thank you to all of my friends who prayed for her. I can't even begin to tell you what that means to me.
Second, at work we had a compliance audit which stressed me out for months prior. It turned out fine. I didn't realize until the day before the audit just how stressed out I was. DH asked me to grab his cell phone for him and I blew up and yelled for everything under the sun. Then I sobbed. He just sat there looking at me like 'wtf is going on here?' Poor guy. At least he's quick to understand! As soon as the sobbing stopped, things were fine and dandy again and we watched the Ravens win! Woohoo!
And last, but definitely not least, we were supposed to be in Arkansas this weekend for DH's grandmother's 80th birthday, which is tomorrow. We were all set to take off this morning at 7:30. Around 8:30 last night, we get a call from DH's mother that Grandma had fallen and they were on their way to the hospital since she probably broke her hip. "Don't come" is what his mother said to him. We discussed it and waited for more news on how Grandma was doing and what the damage actually was. She did in fact break her hip and as I'm typing this, she is in surgery having a total hip replacement. We decided to postpone our trip until she either needed some help around the house or when she was feeling better and up to visitors. We didn't want to be in the way. A few prayers for her would be very much appreciated that she makes a speedy recovery. She was a very active woman and walked a mile or more on her treadmill every morning. I'd love for her to get back to that.
On the TTC front, I have finished my Provera and am waiting for AF to arrive. She's taking her sweet time. I have absolutely no signs of her arrival at the moment. I'm sure she'll wait until the last possible minute to show up and make me think I might have a chance to be pregnant!
