For the last nine years I haven\u2019t missed a single daily blog post so I didn\u2019t want to skip posting tonight but my post is just going to be a post to explain why it has to be extremely short today.<\/p>\n
My son and his wife had plans to be out of town for the weekend and they asked me and my husband to watch our grandbaby which we, of course, were excited to do. But unfortunately our little grandbaby got really sick on Saturday with the flu and had to be admitted to the hospital so my husband and I have been awake since Saturday morning (it\u2019s now late Sunday night so I\u2019ve been up for around 40 hours straight) with our grandbaby in the hospital until his parents are back in town. It\u2019s been a harrowing and emotional experience having this little baby that I love so much be so sick..kills me.<\/p>\n
Then sadly tonight my husband caught the same flu bug as my grandbaby and he had to go home and get into bed.\u00a0 YIKES! So I can\u2019t write much of a blog tonight because I am now on hospital duty on my own!\u00a0 All I can say is \u2013 stay healthy \u2013 stay healthy \u2013 stay healthy \u2013 that was pretty much a mantra to myself\u2026 I can\u2019t get sick!\u00a0 I must plow through!<\/p>\n
I texted my little brother that is a physician tonight and asked him if I am going to get the flu and he replied, \u201cNothing is for sure, but death & taxes, but yes. Yes, you\u2019re going to get it.\u201d<\/p>\n
Thanks for the encouragement little bro! You needed to give me hope!!<\/p>\n
I believe in the power of prayers so do me a huge favor and send up prayers for my grandbaby to get better.\u00a0 And for me not to lose my mind from not getting sleep this many days in a row. Thank you!<\/p>\n
