It's Not the Flu!

I looked at my blog today and realized I haven't blogged in a week.

Wow! It's been busy. Work has been really, really hectic and Lily has been sick since Sunday. She had a fever during Sunday School and we left church and she was better on and off. She did tell me that she had a headache and then she started coughing and sneezing with a runny nose. Her fever would come and go but it got to 101 during the night on Monday.

On Monday though, I found out that two of the babies at Lily's daycare had the flu. This sent me into panic mode. Lily had a lot of the symptoms, so we went to the pediatrician yesterday morning and she tested negative for the flu. She just has a bad cold. She stayed with my mom on Monday and Tuesday and I am off work today at home with home and she has been asleep for almost 3 hours on a early nap so I'm hoping she is sleeping some of it off.

With all of this going on, my step-grandpa also passed away last night. My grandma, who passed away over 6 years ago, was married to him for my whole life. He was 84 and had been very sick with Parkinson's and several other serious things. He had been so sad since my grandma passed away and he didn't move a thing in their house. He was very dependent on her and they were close. We saw him often throughout the week because he would drive to town (10 minutes from his house) to eat lunch and we saw him quite a lot on our lunch breaks. Every time I would see him though, I had intense sadness for his loneliness. I hope that he and my grandma have reunited in Heaven. We weren't close as some grandparents but he has been a part of my life since I was born and we will definitely miss him.

After saying all of this, I guess you can see why I haven't posted. I also have beach pictures from an improptu beach trip to Gulf Shores last weekend that I honestly have uploaded but not even viewed. How sad!

I will try to post those pics very soon! Please pray for my family as we go through the upcoming funeral and pray for Lily to feel better!
