Quarantined!!!

At least I should be.

Honestly, myself, and both of my girls are so sick, that the heat in this house from fevers could kill the devil himself.

Kallie started it off on saturday, with a trip to the hospital after throwing up, fever of 38.7, and not eating or drinking all day, and she increasingly became more and more listless. Thank god we got in right away, the nurse took one lookat her and in we went, when normall there is a 4-8 hour wait time to get into outpatient care.

A few xrays, and some fever reducer later, Kallie finally said her first word of the day...." puppy". Best word I have ever heard. We walked outta there wil around 300$ worth of prescriptions....2 inhalers, an infants air chamber, and some antibiotic for a chest/ear infection. She's back to her normal self today.

Tiana started getting the fever and cough and runny nose on Sunday, and Moi, today. I honestly feel like I have been hit by a truck, I haven't been this sick in a really long time. Hopefully it goes as fast as it came on, cause this sucks.

So, we headed to St Jean sur le Richilieu Quebec on Wednesday. The kids did awesome for a 10 hour drive there, no fights or crying fits, and only 2 stops. Got to the hotel okay, dropped off our stuff, and hit up the pool for a bit to get the kids soem much needed exercise.

Well, I must say, Kallie has turned out to be quite the water kamikaze!! She has absolutely no fear of the pool. She would actually walk over tot he side of the pool and just step in, not even a flinch. She was actually holding hands and jumping in after the first few minutes, it was so cute!!! Her sister on the other hand, was afraid to do anything. She basically stood in the water that was up to her chest. Oh well, she'll get comfortable at her own rate:)

We went to St Huberts restaurant for dinner, and O-M-G, it was amazing! Rotisserie chicken that just melted off the bones. Kids meals in little pop up yellow cars, it was really fun!

After we for dinner, we headed back to the hotel, because Erik would be allowed visitation. He showed up at the hotel for 6pm, and stayed until just after 9 pm. The kids had a ball, jumping all over daddy, and telling him things they've done, and shortly after he arrived, they were both so tired that they went to sleep. Erik left early around 9:15, because he still had to shine his boots for the graduation on Thursday afternoon.

Thursday was a hard day for me, very emotional, but it was wonderful. The kids got to see dady following the ceremony for about an hour and a half before we hit the road. The ceremony itself was completely awe inspiring. To know that the people graduating only 13 weeks earlier were just everyday people, to see them responding so in tune and so tightly together to their drill sargeant, it was just amazing. Erik looked so handsome in his dress uniform:)

We arrived home in Fredericton at 3am on Friday. we all slept for a bit, and i was ready and back on the road back here to my moms house a bit after 8 am. Mom's had some more infection complications from her knee replacement, that she's on a new antibiotic, and another spot in her incision has opened up for drainage.

We should know whats going on with that on Wednesday.

Erik is currently in Borden, Ontario, awaiting further instruction on where and when our posting is, as well as when his next training course is. We have talked and discussed alot of the things that were problematic between us, and this has helped some of the tension and frustrations that we have here at home.

All is well now, except for these damn colds!!!
