Argh. It never ends this month!! First the water heater blows out. Then Quinn gets some almost-killed him bacterial infection. My dad had to go for 3 more stents in his heart, for a total of 5. My sister is currently in Jefferson Hospital recuperating from a major brain surgery to remove a melangioma (not sure if I spelled that right?) sitting on her optic nerve. Turns out that the doctors couldn't get all of the tumor for fear of damaging her optic nerve, so after she is finally recuperated from the operation (as in months from now), she will have to go back for more radiation treatments.
As if all that isn't enough, now Milo has strep throat / scarlet tina or scarlet fever. He came down with 102 fever yesterday afternoon and complained of a bellyache; the fever hung around all through today and then Milo broke out in a itchy red rash all over his body. Off to the doctor we went, to find out he's highly contagious and we have to stay home for at least the next 24 hours, but it would be better if we stayed home all weekend. I've been suffering from near-migraines all week, probably from all the stress in my life, and Corey's been coughing for like a month now.
On the bright side, all our bills are paid. And maybe I'll get to take a nap tomorrow, since I get to hang around with Milo all day instead of going to work.
