Panic, Over!

Okay. I can breathe now.

A few days ago I couldn't.

For those of you who don't know my very healthy, never takes an Advil, never misses a day of work, husband came down with what everyone thought was meningitis last Monday.

It wasn't meningitis-THANKFULLY.

But....it wasn't the flu either, or strep, mono, MRSA, UTI, pneumonia, some heart virus??? and about 50 other things they tested for.

We were in the hospital for 3 days.

We left with no answers and he still had a fever.

Our family physician thought it would be best if we met with an Infectious Disease specialist since Benji is out of the country so much and hunts in the woods 9 months out of the year.

To rule out malaria and Lyme disease.

That's when I started freaking out. The appointment with the specialist went great though. He really helped calm my nerves and reassured me that all the test he ran would probably come back negative as well.

So Benji gave 9 more vials of his blood and we were off again.....

It will be funny one day I'm sure. Today is the first day he hasn't run a temp. He is feeling tons better.

Whatever this was really shook me up and knocked him completely off his feet for a week.

We are so thankful for our family that stepped in and took care of the kids, for our church family that prayed, sent meals, emails, etc.

Taking it easy this weekend and hoping that he will be back to healthy on Monday.
