MAJOR, Major update

I know I've not done an update in quite a while. But there was a true and honest to god, good reason. Flipper was admitted to the hospital. And was there for 6 days. He was finally diagnosed after 2 days in the hospital with double pneumonia in BOTH lungs. He was VERY VERY sick. His fevers ranged from 102.5 to 99.5, needless to say sitting back and nothing being able to help is just an awful feeling. The doctors originally thought he was having gallbladder and/or appendix issues due to the pain in his abdomen. But when he started to complain of the feeling like there was an elephant on his chest they automatically looked at his lungs and such. And found the inflamation and swelling in his lungs and the fact that both of them were not inflating fully due to stuff in there and causing him a lot of pain just to take a normal breath. He was immediately put on oxygen to keep his o2 levels at a normal range and was able to come off of it the day before he was discharged. He was getting breathing treatments every 4 hours with a nebulizer to help open up his lungs and it worked beautifully. After 5 days of a lot of major IV medications; antibiotics (4 different high spectrum ones), pain medication, anti-nausea meds, steriods, etc. He was put on normal pill medication and a normal diet to get his body back on a normal schedule.

While he was in the hospital we both decided that it was unfair to Glinda for keeping her home alone and not spending very much time with her. So I took her to her favorite place "WOOFS" for 5 days. They were so nice and told me not to worry a bit. I must admit it was a relief off my shoulders not having to worry about her and making sure she was entertained and played with enough.

He's now home..and getting stronger each day. He's resting well and I've got him out of the house a few times. And we're testing things out. His vertigo is still around, but only here and there. So we are taking things easy for now too. Keeping a low profile this weekend and a bit of a relaxing, olympic watching weekend.

When I brought Flipper home his only request other than picking up his medicine was picking up Glinda. Cuz he said he missed her. So I did just that. Glinda was so happy to see us both and equally happy to sleep on the bed during the day and keep her daddy company.

knowing that he's alright and home, I've finally been able to relax a little. But there comes the bad part for me. My back has caught up with me and it now telling me that I've done too much and I must slow down and spend some time laying down (which I've still been fighting) and time on the heating pad. I've been taking some little time resting and such but keeping up with cooking and also doing the best I can in keeping up with cleaning.

Today we've opened the windows to the main level of the house. It's really niiiiiiiiiiice today. We've got some fans circulating air. It's a nice day.

I think that's enough for now. I'm sure I'll update more later. I hope you are all having a great weekend.

P.S...I'm laughing at Men's Badmitton Doubles...dude..the audience has thundersticks??? WTF..LMAO!! Flipper is joking that it's a bloodsport...LMAO.
