Last week was a crazy one. Dennis was gone for the week out-of-town to classes. That should have been a clue! :p On Tuesday night (Wed. am)I ended up taking Joseph to the ER room as his breathing was labored. After a three hour stay (so short by most accounts!) we left with a diagnosis of pneumonia and a prescription for antibiotics. Yay for catching it early. Then comes Wednesday night (Thursday am) - back to ER we go - this time after a couple hours it is decided he needs to be admitted. Another hour or so later found Joey and Mom checking into their new digs. Joseph ended up with an IV in his arm as well as having his oxygen levels constantly monitored. He also had oxygen tube most of the time. What that all boils down to is lots of machines to make beep! The nurses took good care of us. 'Dad' ended up being able to leave where he was out Thursday evening vs. Friday afternoon - yay! And Friday evening Joseph was sent home. Home never looked so good.
All that to say the exciting news of the week was that late Saturday night Charlyn flew into PDX. It was great to be able to introduce she and Joseph when she got home. Very nice to have everyone in one place.
Here is a group picture I finally got of them all on Tuesday (the 17th)...
