Hospital #2 and #3

 In 2019 I made a goal to have a year of health-meaning- take care of health-related things for myself and my family. It went well. But in 2020 I still felt like the "year of health" just had a lot to accomplish still. So-I kept the goal. "Year of Health" has been no joke let me tell ya. Our very plump HSA is now almost gone. We've had more medical-related appointments this year than ever. Lately, we've had the flu, urinary problems, sore throats, lots of headaches, I had a minor surgery, Hospital Visit #2-and as soon as I got home from the hospital-Dave started feeling sick. 

He insisted for days it was just a cold-I kept trying to tell him to stay home from work and take care of himself, he wouldn't listen because he was trying not to lose a ton on incentive money.  He went to work for the next three nights with fever and chills. It never registered on a thermometer so he somehow got past the temp checks at work. Well, it's been 10 days. Day 3 of Dave in the hospital. Hospital visit #3.

It's been a weird week. The kids were immediately quarantined from school.  I've been stressed to the max-because I've been covering primary, covering FUSE, texting, updating everyone, phone calls, prepping a sacrament talk, and cleaning and sanitizing like a crazy person. Literally following everyone around with a Clorox wipe. I've been busy-and cried. I cried a lot the day we had to tell the family Dave's went to the hospital. They won't allow any visitor to set foot inside. Patients only. Things have now settle down and we are getting our quarantine grove on. 

But it's weird-I feel totally fine with Dave being this sick. It's weird. Yesterday we had the nicest day at home together. The rest of us are healthy! I prayed the other day that I told Heavenly Father I would serve these kids and serve in my calling and serve anyone I could if I could just stay healthy. I absolutely believe he granted my request and blessed me and the kids with keeping cool. I've been SOOOO grateful for the prayers of SOOOO many friends and family! They are all wonderful, we are so blessed and have felt so much love and concern.  God hears their prayers on our behalf! He hears my prayers! I just am not that worried about it all.

Well, here we are hoping David will show some improvement and come home soon. Today would be awesome! I'm hoping! The Kolstad ladies were literally Santa Clause to my kids and dropped a million things to keep them busy-God bless these women! Let's hope the kids don't fight and happily do their chores! (not even the almighty can do that!!)

I've been helping a little with primary activities. It's been fun! You would think I wouldn't have much to do in primary right now-but I've been keeping busy! There are always so many ways to serve! You'd be surprised!

After a day of crying the girls invited me to have a girl's sleepover in their room instead of sleeping on the couch (since our room is full of covid). I've actually been quite happy with the setup they did for me. 

Before we were down and out, we at least got to have our first fire night with Beth and her kids.
