St. Paddy's Day

Life just doesn't seem to slow down at our household even with Brin and I being confined to our house for over a week now we have been busy!! On Wednesday Shad had a little cold and it started getting worse. His mom and her sweet sis Helen came down to spend the night with us!! We had a lot of fun :) Since it was St. Patrick's Day I decided to try and do something fun even though Shad and Brinley were both not feeling good at all. I made "green" (cheddar broccoli) soup and BBQ chicken salad. I figured the greens in the salad could count as green food. I also made a chocolate cake with a four leaf clover on the icing. It was a really good night. We had some good laughs with my mother in law and Aunt Helen! Don't worry none of us wore green that day :)
On Thursday Shad woke up and was sicker than I have ever seen him. He went into the doctor and found out that he has the adult version of RSV. It is really rare for an adult to contract RSV, but with him sharing utensils and drinks with Brinley he caught it. He is absolutely miserable. This is the sickest he has been as an adult. I can understand how little babies have to be hospitalized for this virus and it makes me hurt even more for Brinley and what she has been going through with this nasty virus!!! I just hope he feels better soon!
Our friend Kourtnie is doing much better. She had surgery to help monitor her and help her heart. Poor thing has been through a lot. We want to thank all of those who have kept her in their prayers we know it has helped!! I hope to see her soon. Shad was able to go to the hospital before he came down sick, but we still have not seen her yet.
It has been fun having family around the last few weeks. It has made life a lot more enjoyable. I was even able to spend some time with my sister today and we had a good time. It is so nice to be able to have people to love and to be love by!!!! I am going to make a goal at being better at capturing memories. I have done horrible lately at taking pictures and videos. There are so many things I want to get on camera that I know I will forget if I don't!!! Brinley said grandma (gamah) for the first time to Shad's mom while she was here and she told Shad tonight, "love you" when he tucked her into bed...how sweet is that???
