Flu / Fluke Family

O.K. so on May 12th I started not to feel so good and then the next morning I was not doing to much better but of course I had to go into work that day. I got to work at 7:00 by 8:00 I had drank almost 64 oz of water and was still thirsty and I was freezing, I had my jacket on and a blanket wrapped around me. I was shaking soooo bad Icould not take it anymore so I left work at 8:30 and went to the Insta Care. When I got in I had a fever of 103.3 and they said I had flu like symptoms, so they ran a strep test - can back negative then they did the flu test to make sure it was not the swine flu - OH MY OUCH!!! they take a long q-tip and shove it up your nose, I started to lean back cause it hurt and the nurse took the back of my head so I could not move and kept going - I could feel and hear my nose cracking as it kept going. After she took it out I just started crying cause I was upset - we are leaving for LaJolla in 2 days. Of course all those tests came out negative. So I went home and slept the rest of the day. My fever broke later that night and the next morning you guessed it I was just fine no fever no symptoms!!! So I have decided to label our family as the Fluke Family. Mark gets a blood clot and I get the flu - I have NEVER had the flu. So I guess that this a good thing that I did not have the flu.

ER / Hospital

Well as most of you already know (I am behind on blogging) Mark had a ER / Hospital visit on May 3rd. He woke up at about 5:15 a.m. and he was bleeding from him clave in his line. We called his nurse and she said to call 911 and get him to the ER but Mark said oh just take me then he stood up walked a couple of steps and decided calling 911 would be a good thing to do. I called them and got the kids ready to go and stay with my parents. While waiting for the ambulance Justin asked Mark if he was going to die and Jarod told him "HE IS DYING" in a very sarcastic tone. I had to tell them that Mark was not going to die, but in the back of my mind I was not too sure. This time for some reason it was unsettling to me.

Well we get to the ER and run every test and they said to Mark that he had a blood clot in his line and they need to try and get it to break free. Well I find this very amusing since THIS MAN'S BLOOD DOSE NOT CLOT!!! They took us up to the RICU (respiratory intensive care unit) and said we would more than likely stay the night and do surgery in the morning to replace his line if the clot would not break. So around 3:00 I decided to go home and get some stuff so Mark could spend the night since it was not looking good. Well I get home and just about to go back to the Hospital when Mark calls and says the clot broke. YEAH!!!! So I was able to go back and only have to spend a few more hours then I could take him home.

So far so good.
