PHEW ~ What a Day!
This afternoon I feel like things are coming together, but this morning was another story...
Josh woke @4:30 with a low, but acceptable temp. No vomiting since last evening - YAY! Fluids staying down - Double YAY!! He even wanted to play, but had NO energy to play or smile or anything else. He couldn't even sit up alone. Then his temp went on a roller coaster ride, except the high points kept getting continually lower as did the low points. Called the hospital when nothing I did was making a difference. Proceeded to take him in. Head scratching - labs were drawn - most of the labs finally came back. MORE head scratching. Finally 2 of the last 3 results came back... His thyroid was WAY out of whack again. DUH! I need to get used to him having thyroid issues and take that into consideration!! We've readjusted his meds and LORD willing the real Joshua will be back in a day or two.
MEMO to self - thyroid levels need to be checked every time labs are being drawn.
Thankfully, once this was all worked out we were soon on our way home via the pharmacy.
Got home to discover that THE papers we've been anxiously waiting for had been delivered - WOOT!! Said papers have been reposted to the embassy. They should get there tomorrow - Veteran's Day, so the embassy will be closed. BUT - they will be there Thursday morning so LORD willing they will be looked at promptly and the girls passports will off on the next leg of their trip to becoming actual passports. Keep the prayers coming!
Today we also got most of our international food order...
It's been over a year since I've had Crisco!! My cooking spray was running low and with holidays coming that is not a good thing. Plus, I now have molasses for bread and cookies, as well as, green beans and cranberry sauce for Thanksgiving dinner
We are still waiting on pumpkin, but that should come next week. WHEW!
I am feeling much better about everything that is scheduled to happen in the next few weeks.
Colds are on the mend!
Passports are a step closer.
Turkeys are in the freezer and trimmings are on hand.
Trip plans are slowly getting rounded out.
EDIT: Josh is awake and playing this evening
