Well as some of you may have seen I am expected to be absent for a while. Thanks to my great friend and cousin from Heavenly Savings for keeping you all informed about my absence. I am going to give you all an update and let you know that things might still be slow for awhile.
I have been diagnosed with Listeria Meningitis. It was caught early thank goodness and after two days in ICU I have been moved to a regular room. The type of meningitis I have is not contagious for my family, thank goodness so that will be a huge help I caught this type of meningitis because of the recent birth of my son made me susceptible. Why it goes for new mothers nobody knows but here we are. Also, it appears to be caught from pre-packaged food. How crazy! My husband and kids eat the same thing I do and yet they can’t catch it. Lastly, I could have caught it over 2 months ago and it just now has shown the signs. Who knew a headache could mean so much.
I have been on some major medications and while I should get discharged on Wed. I will be sent home with my own pump and medications that I will have to do through an IV every four hours for ten days. It will be a tiring process I am sure but It will just be nice to be home. I can’t wait. So I ask that you please be patient with me as I am going through this. I still have sick babies and husband at home and now my mother who came down to help is sick. Not sure how it will all go tomorrow but I will do my best to get everything I have at the house posted. I also owe you a few Etsy features as well. All in time…
I just can’t way how much I appreciate your patience and all the well wishes I have received from many of you. Thank you and big hugs!!

Meningitis is NO fun….I'm a nurse and have had lots of patients with it and they were really very ill and had incredible headaches and stiff necks. My prayers are with you for a speedy recovery.
