There is really nothing I hate more, than for my babe to be sick. He hasn't felt "great" for about a week, but on Wednesday he called and was feeling much worse. As much as I hate hospitals and would love to run and hide when I am told we have to go, I made a promise to stick by Robert's side NO MATTER WHAT and I do not break promises!!
I was at work and he said that he didn't feel safe driving, so he waited for me to come home. By the time we got there, he was was experiencing tachycardia (extremely low blood pressure) and had a 102.9 fever. It took over 40 minutes to get an IV started, using an ultrasound. Once he received fluids, his vitals started to improve, but he was admitted. He is expected to be there until at least Monday, and a nose swab tested positive for the flu. Robert is supposed to fly out to Texas on Wednesday, so I am praying he recovers and can come home for a day before he has to leave again for a week.
And that there, is my life. A balance of work, with Dr. visits, drowning in house work that sits undone, and complete EXHAUSTION! I am so tired and I don't see myself getting any rest, any time in the near future.
I have been brainstorming ideas on how to make our classroom flow more easily and how to get out church to grow and get more community involvement and try to plan a semi-decent wedding and I am GO GO GO...
I am just so thankful for my friends. They are the only things keeping me semi-sane right now and motivating me to just keep going when all I really want to do is curl up in a call and cry. I actually managed to get to gym this week! Not five days like my friends, but I am still trying. I may not be winning, but I am still trying and that has to count for something, right?
I know that we all have our own struggles and if they are still moving, then so am I and that is a promise!!
Keeping you always in my thoughts. These are trying times. God is testing you, you WILL prevail. We are here for you and Robert in ANYTHING you need. Big hugs, you two are INCREDIBLY strong people!
