Weekend Update

Just a quick post to update you all on the happenings in the "Migrainemom" household. It's been a busy, busy weekend!

I belong to the All Children's Hospital guild and our mission is to raise money for the hospital through various fundraisers and benefits that we put on throughout the year. All Children's Hospital is near and dear to our hearts because when #1 was only 15 months old, they literally saved his life. He had a fever of 105 for 4 days and a weird rash on his body and tongue. He was lethargic, wasn't eating and was basically scaring all of us. We were back and forth to the doctor that week. They ruled out meningitis and kept telling us it was some kind of virus but didn't know what. Finally we had enough...the lymph nodes on the side of his neck were the size of a golf ball and he was dehydrated. We drove 20 miles south to All Children's. In the emergency room he was diagnosed with Kawasaki's disease and immediately admitted to the hospital. What an ordeal! To make a long story short...today he is a happy and healthy 9 year old, I truly believe in part, because of the amazing doctor's at this hospital. In an effort to give back in some way, I volunteer my time for the guild.

Saturday evening we had our big benefit called "Margaritaville in the Tropics". I was on the planning committee and it was a lot of hard work but in the end it was all worth it. I don't have final numbers on what we raised but even in a recession I would say we did pretty good! I am exhausted today though!

In Hubby news, we have an appointment with the Orthopedic Oncologist at Moffit Cancer center Monday morning at 9:30am. He is adamant that I don't go with him because we know it isn't going to be anything...it just can't be. I have however taken the morning off and plan on going with him. I know in my heart all will be fine. I truly believe that God doesn't give you more than you can handle and my husband is my world....I truly could not handle him having Cancer...so it just isn't so. I will keep you all updated and please continue those prayers. Hug your families tight!
