Wayward February
February really hasn’t gone according to plan. Shortly after my last post, Gavin came down with a cold. Then I got it. Then I got it really bad. Then I ended up in the hospital for four days with bad Pneumonia. I’m alive, thanks to some very heavy-duty antibiotics and the excellent care I received in the Intensive Care Unit at Sutter Coast Hospital in Crescent City, California. I got home Friday, but I feel like I have a way to go before I’m back to my old self. Erik took some emergency leave and flew home Thursday. It has been wonderful to have him home; he is such a wonderful cook and he has taken over all of the household duties, so I can pretty much lay around and eat bon-bons and hack and cough to my heart’s content. Which is good, because about all I can do is lay around and hack and cough.
I’m looking forward to regaining a bit of energy. There are definite signs of spring in the air; the daffodils are in bloom, and the fruit trees are starting to bud out. I want to be out in the dirt.
*Edited to add* I forgot to mention that the baby is fine. He/she shows no sign of distress.
I hope your little one inside of you is doing well too. I hope you feel better soon.
Do not run out of bon-bons!
Ewww, that is NOT fun! Praying for you! Just think soon Erik will be home to stay! YAY!
Glad you are home. I am praying you have a speedy recovery.
Hope you feel better soon. Sorry to hear you were sick.
Scary stuff. Glad baby made it through unscathed!
Thank goodness your baby and you are ok! I love your little ballet shoes you have for sale have you ever thought of selling patterns too? I know you are busy but me and my hubby have started our blog on our self-sufficiency adventure. You guys have really inspired us. Stop by if you get the chance!
Bon bons are overrated.
Krispy Kremes are where its at for Grade A comfort food.
Be well, mama.
How did I miss all this?! I hope all is going well. I am glad you recovered but YIKES! Glad things are on the upswing.
Miss you guys
Love ya

Just popped on to check on any news of your husband. I am sorry you were in the ICU but thankful for modern medicine. I am also glad to the world wide benefits of air travel and am glad your husband Erik was able to come home for your emergency. That is what the compassion in compassionate leave is all about. I am glad you are on the road to better.
A 3rd lil one… wow im out of the Loop I miss you guys, I remember when Olga was just an infant
My goodness! You’ve been through a lot. Of course we all feel like you are family (especially those of us who have been reading BWH since the very first issue) so we are upset when anything bad happens to you! I’m just glad you are better and will continue to remember your little family in our prayers!
