Home Sweet Home

Kelly is home. Those words never sounded so wonderful. After three trips to the hospital (including one that resulted in a 3 day, two night stay), tons of fluids and antibiotics via IV, and SURGERY, he's home!!! I didn't know what to expect when I got there this morning. He has been so out of it, weak and in more pain than he's ever been in. He hasn't been able to talk, eat or sleep. The left side of his neck was so swollen. When I arrived and saw him up, walking around, talking normal and pretty much all of the swelling gone I nearly fell over! Of course, at that point he was like get me out of here NOW! But we waited for the doctor, got him checked out, picked up his meds, and now he is sleeping peacefully on the couch. I have always known infection is so bad for you, but I never realized how quickly it progresses and causes the body to deteriorate. So scary! We learned our lesson, that's for sure. And now the next step, on doctor's orders, is to get Kelly's tonsils out when he gets healed up. Whew! Now that all that scariness is over, I will make sure the next post is something fun with a picture of the kids or something!!!!!!!
