Unexpected things happen

I don't do well with surprises! I am just gonna say it. I am little control freak. I like to plan everything and stick with that plan. But life doesn't work like that.

We had to go to Toronto a week ago. My husband got sick late September and for two weeks, there was no sign of improvement. By the third week, it seemed to be getting worse, we both felt that he needed to get thoroughly checked; blood work, x-rays and all that. We decided that going Toronto to get examined would be best and within 4 hours of even thinking of going to Toronto, we were packed, made SJ's food and out the door; Toronto bound. After driving for 10 hours, Eus checked into the Emergency Room. When we came back to DC, the weather cooled down. We needed to take fall/winter clothes out. I thought since we're moving in a few months, we decided to pack the things we weren't using. We ordered boxes and started organizing. It was challenging to pack with a baby crawling around and touching everything so most of the packing was happened while SJ were asleep. On the second night of packing, SJ kept waking up. I thought he started teething again, so when I went to pick him up, but his body was very hot. I immediately checked his temperature and it was 102.8. I wiped his entire body down with a damp cloth and checked again 30 minutes later; his temperature was only rising. I gave him Advil; didn't work. His fever didn't go down until we took him to the Emergency Room.

After an extensive test, we found out it was just a reaction to his recent immunization. It was such a relief to know that. When we came back from the hospital, I was so exhausted. SJ was still very tired from the high heat and he wanted to be held all throughout the night. Poor thing! I wish I were sick for him.

When I finally lied down in my bed, I realized I am missing one of my diamonds on my ring! It was that crazy, let me tell you!

I can't believe I even have time to blog about this. But I thought; I am stressing myself out, I am the reason why I get stressed. Unexpected things happen. That is life! It wouldn't be exciting if everything went accordingly. Trials and tribulations won't be challenging if everything went well. I am so grateful that my husband and my baby came back healthy and well. I again learned to appreciate what I have and all I ask for is good-health for my loved ones.
