Down and Out

My wife and I just wanted to say thanks to all of you who kept us in your thoughts and prayers during our sickness.

For those of you who don't know, Lynne and I came down with viral meningitis April 11th. Our doctors say we got it from our son, Zachary, who had a viral infection (very high temp, but no other symptoms) the previous weekend.

April 11th, my wife had a severe headache (she compared it to "labor pain"), a low fever and was vomiting. We went to our doctor who said that we should immediately check into the ER because she suspected meningitis. While we were waiting for my wife to be seen, I started to get those same symptoms. Once they performed a spinal tap on Lynne, I checked myself into the ER too!! They separated us because they thought we were infecting each other, so we were going through this "alone, but together." Lynne was admitted to the hospital late Friday night and I was admitted early Saturday morning. The hospital was full, so we were on different floors! After a lot of great meds and a lot of yucky food, we were released late Monday afternoon. We're home now and fully recovered. We just have slight headaches and very little energy (which is very hard, taking care of a toddler), but other than that, we're so happy to be well and HOME!!!!!

Again, thanks for all the well wishes and thoughts! We greatly appreciate it!! Oh, Zachary is fine and had a great weekend at "Grammy and Papa Joe's house." He thought he was on vacation!!!!

For my clients, I apologize for any delays in work or contact. I am working quickly to get everything back under control.
