Good Morning….I am up and ready for our busy day.  Hubby and Tommy are already at the soccer game.  I am going to be heading out in a couple of minutes to work at the bike-a-thon for LADC and Tommy’s school.   Afterwards we are heading out to buy Josh a bed.  He has been sleeping on the couch since he can’t get up off the floor in his room.  He is current just sleeping on a matteress on the floor.  So we are going to IKEA today.  I have never been there, but we saw a nice bed in their catalog at a very reasonable price.  

More Later….off to church!

Hubby took the younger boys to church on Sunday and I stayed home with Josh.  Once Josh woke up he started vomiting.  Since the discharge papers said to call if he vomited, I called the surgeons office.  The on-call Dr said to stop taking the pain meds and have only a diet of fluid.   Josh had a terrible headache so he rest and had ice on his head.   Later afternoon I made him some cup of soup.  He didn’t keep that down either so I called back to the Dr, hoping they could give him something to stop the vomiting.   Well….instead, back to the ER!  

We were at the ER for about 4 hours or so.   They gave him 2 liters of IV fluids, gave him meds to stop the vomiting and took an Xray of his stomach.   He has some post operative complications and hopefully will be feeling better in a day or two.   We got home from the ER in time for me to put Tommy to bed.  

I am home today with Josh……..hoping he will be feeling better soon so I can return to work.  Josh is still sleeping.  I tried to wake him to take his meds….he wasn’t the happiest of children!   So I think I will go down stairs and do some laundry.  Then I will clean in our bedrooms while Josh sleeps some more.

Josh came home from the hospital this morning.   I got him into the house and straight to the shower.   Then we got him positioned on the couch upstairs here so we can assist in getting him up.   He is able to walk much better once we get him up.  

I am glad to have him home.   His friend Kyle is over and they are playing xbox in the living room.  Kyle brought his over for them to play.   Emma and Amy also came over to visit. 

Tommy had a soccer game this morning and his team played against his best friend Cooper’s team.   Erik is napping right now, not sure what is up with that.  He finally decided what he wanted to do for his birthday.  He wants to go to the Rainforest Cafe for supper.  So we will do that one weekend coming up when he is with us.   The weekend after his birthday he is with his Mom. 

Supper is in the crockpot and laundry is going so I think I will go read until it is time for supper.
