unexpected vacation
the happy bubbe
Some weeks are all tea parties and smiles...others ave you exhausted and on your knees. That would be this last week! With all of my seven grandchildren sick and their parents too this has been a week of testing. Matt Syrena and Kayla were all sick out in Colorado. Matt was so sick work sent him home. And Our granddaughter Kayla was so sick she was taking cool swimming baths at midnight to lower her fever.
That began our week which turned in to a hospital stay for our littlest 3 month old granddaughter Talia. She had a very severe case of RSV and was hospitalised for three days, from Tuesday to Friday! Her mommie and Daddy moved into the hospital with her. I love that they can do that. I was in the hospital for three weeks when I was 6-7 (had birthday there) and I remember vividly each evening arriving and my parents being told to leave. I also remember that when they left a nurse would come in with a loaded needle!!!!! So I am so glad Sam and Heatherlee could stay with Talia.
However that means that the other five grandkids came to stay with their Happy Bubbe and Pa. And all of them were sick! Even Pa was sick! Once we got the coughs, runny noses and occasional moments that did not make it to the toilet or bucket, we actually had a wonderful time. We haven't had them all for this long in a while. We did some schoolwork. Jaden read his first words! Bella blended the sounds together faster than Jaden, but still needs letter recognition. She will be catching up to the rest before you know it! We watched movies...lots of movies, built card houses and even managed an hour outside when it finally stopped raining! They were so well behaved and even in our two bedroom mobilehome managed to sprawl out and have fun. They were here from Tuesday to Sunday! Nothing like a vacation to Bubbe and Pa's!Actually it was nothing like a vacation! However all the prayers prevailed, everyone is better (although not completely well) and my home is almost too quiet today. Almost!
