What Happened Last Week

I was able to visit Tim in the hospital last week after my flu symptoms subsided. Tim had a mild case of pneumonia, which they successfully treated with anti-biotics. He also had a blood test come back positive for bacterial infection. All subsequent tests were negative, however, so they believe the one sample was probably contaminated. Tim developed something called BK virus. It's a common virus that doesn't cause any problems unless you are immune compromised. If you are immune compromised, it can be very painful, but it doesn't tend to be life threatening. His mental state did not improve, but the doctors still felt that watchful waiting was the best course.

Lack of anything positive to say was one reason I didn't post anything last week. The other is that we've been extremely busy at home. Thursday night was the PTA picnic, Friday night was the Boy Scout picnic and Cub Scout campfire, Saturday night was the church picnic and Sunday afternoon from noon until 5pm was the end of season soccer festival. Whew. Luckily, my mom flew in last Friday, which made it a lot easier to get everyone where they needed to go.
