Thought I would try and catch you up on our week. Things seemed to be going rather smoothly. I had worked Friday night and then we had potluck at church Saturday evening. The kids all enjoy that. Time to play with their friends after church and food to boot! I had called Alick to see if he wanted to go. Usually he is there...but he had been feeling a bit rough. Friday his stomach wasn't quite right. Well Saturday he felt good so he went. Seemed fine. Well Sunday morning about 8:30 I get a call from Alick that he needed to go to the Hospital. To make a long story short, he thought he had a "bowel obstruction". Since I had 2 kids in the tub, we decided if he felt that bad he should push his "alert" button and the ambulance would need to take him. I would meet here there as soon as I could.
Fast forward "kids dressed and ready for church". We go out to the garage and the tire is flat!! I mean pancake flat! We just got new tires in June, so we must have picked up a nail or something. Thankfully my brother bought us a tire pump! Automatic wonderful. That got us on the road in about 15 minutes. SF took the kids to church and I went to the hospital to meet Alick. Spent from 10:30 till 3:30 with him. Yes a CT scan showed it was a SBO and he needed a NG and hopitalization. He didn't like that idea, but it did feel better!
So home I went to get dinner. Sandwiches sounded good. The kids like grilled ham and cheese with horseradish sauce. I thought I grabbed the horseradish when SF asked me what are you making! Well, oops I had the bottle of ginger instead of horseradish. Let me tell you they are not interchangeable. I thought "well, they are made I will see if the kids notice." SF took a bit and gave me a look, You have not made a great culinary discovery. Ginger on ham and cheese, "NOT SO GOOD". But he didn't say anything. EM took a bit and said "WHAT IS ON THIS SANDWICH???" Needless to say they were not impressed. We scraped them a bit and made it OK to eat! I guess I was a bit distracted!
Thankfully Alick is doing well. Looks like the Obstruction will resolve without surgery. He has history of Colon CA, 19 years ago and ends up with adhesions. Thankfully they have always resolved with Bowel rest!
Not how we planned on spending our weekend, but thankful that things are turning around.
SF's parents will be here on Thursday. The kids and SF don't have school Thursday, Friday or the weekend, so they are looking forward to getting spoiled!
OK all for now!
Just remember Ginger = Horseradish is not a true statement!
