Update on Michael~

Sorry for giving an update earlier, but we have been extremely busy. Michael continued to run a fever last week through Wednesday. Never did reach 100.4 (that is the point I have to take him to the hospital), but it came close several times. He still felt tied and didn’t have the energy to do much of anything.

By Thursday last week he felt a little better. We began working on the house over at my parents (that is where we plan on temporarily moving too). He made it over there each day through the weekend to do a “little” work. None of us let him do too much. Each night, he would come home extremely tired, but felt good about being able “to do something” instead of just sitting around. Sunday, he went out to the shop and helped change some springs on a car. Well, he told the boys what to do. He got to stand back and be the “boss” and they were teasing him. I think he really enjoyed spending the afternoon out in the shop.

Last Monday (2/2/2009), we had a fun time (not really). Before we went to his doctor’s appointment, we heard someone outside honking their horn no stop. I went to the side door, and he went to the front door to see what was going on. There was a white van in the street honking trying to get someone’s attention. Our front yard was on fire. Yes, our front yard was on fire and the winds were blowing it right towards our house. I grab my phone, go outside, turning on the water hose and begin trying to keep if from getting to my house and called 911.

Our volunteer fire department finally showed up and helped get the rest of the fire out. While they were driving through my yard to put out the fire, they happened to drive over the area where my water meter is located. Luckily, it just stayed in the yard and didn’t get much closer to the house.

By Wednesday, we noticed we still had water standing in the ditch and called the water company. They finally came out on Friday and inspected our water meter and stated that there was a water break, but it is on our side of the meter which means it is our responsibility to fix it.

With that, if we stay there through the end of the month, that would be an extremely high water bill. We have been working as much as we can to try to get moved by this weekend. Next week is when we are supposed to start getting all his tests done.

Monday, he didn’t feel that great again. He started running a slight fever again, staying around 99.5. Tuesday, he slept all day. Not sure if he just over did it this past weekend working on the house and packing up to move, or if he is trying to catch something again.

Today he said he just feels tired. He is going to take it easy again today until the kids gets out of school, then have them help him pack up more things around the house.

I will try to send another update this weekend.
