Never too busy for an IV

I told the dr I was too busy last week to be admitted into the hospital, so they sent me home with an IV in my arm instead. I had to go in every day for my medicine. Over the weekend they sent me to home health, which taught me how to do my own IV injection and sent me home with a cooler filled with goodies. It is still red, so I go in today to find out what the next plan of attack is.
The girls got to dance at the University of Utah halftime Spectacular on Sat. Some of their teachers are on the Crimson Line, and invited them to come perform.. They spent Friday night learning the dance, eating pizza and oogling the men cheerleaders, then got to do the game Sat. It POURED rain thru the whole first half. So much for cute hair!! The sun came out right before halftime and they had a blast dancing. We left right after that and met Roxanne for Mexican food. I was feeling bleh, so we left early from dinner and headed home. I actually got to go to all three hours of church yesterday for the first time in almost 2 months. It was sooooo nice!!! Erin stayed home with Hayley for me, who was (and still is) having severe stomach pains. Tapering off of the medicine is a beastly process...One step forward and two back. A sad decision was made last night to pull her from dance for the year, since this is so much more long term than we thought it would be.

Boil?! I think not. I suspect a cover-up... I know that IV is really just pumping Coke directly into your veins. We all knew it would come to this. :) No, really, hope you and H are feeling better soon. Gilmore Girls is great and all, but it's time you two got up off that danged couch! Love ya! Feel better!

Do people still get boils?? I was thinking that your life has become something out of the old testament. Weird plagues and all:) Good grief Kim! You guys take care of yourselves. I'm so sad to hear that H is having a hard time. I really do hope that she can recover and get back to being a kid. Love you guys!
