This week was suppose to have played out totally different. Last week Trent saw an ENT doctor for his snoring. Zane and Kaylee kept telling me he snored "Really LOUD" But it wasn't until our summer vacation when we all slept in the same room together that I realized they were not exaggerating. He can really raise the roof. The doctor says that he needs his adnoids removed and his tonsils are large for his age so might as well remove those at the same time to avoid problems in the future. The surgery was set for Tuesday but due to some insurance issues I had to postpone the surgery for a couple weeks. It turned out to be a good thing...
About 30minutes after postponing the surgery I began to feel tired, achey and feverish. My temperature went from normal to 102 in an hour. I had horrible chills, uncontrollable shaking and had to crawl up the stairs. David arranged for our wonderful friend Emily to watch Mia and Trent while he took me to the doctor. But there was just one problem, I couldn't stand up. Finally the fever broke enough that I was able to get to the doctor's office. I was sure there was something VERY seriously wrong with me and he told me "You have the FLU" "Really? the FLU in August?" Apparently it happens. I was relieved but then disappointed because you just have to ride out the flu. OR so I thought......
He gave me a prescription for Tamiflu. It doesn't cure the flu but lessens the symptoms dramatically. This stuff is close to a miracle drug. But it only works if you catch it within the first 36 hours. So it's a good thing I went when I did.
The Grandmas arrived on the scene late that evening to help out with the kids. David had a presentation to do in San Antonio the next day so they took control of the situation. Which leads me to the princess portion. One of my wonderful friends informed me that to have this much help at such short notice entitles me to the title of a princess. At this moment I don't feel like so much of a princess and I can tell you I defintely have not been looking like a princess but I do have to agree that I have wonderful family and friends. And like Kaylee's T-shirt says... "Yes, I am a Princess, my father is the King of Kings."
