We had parent teacher conf at the beginning of the month. Jacob is doing well. His math is improving and if we can just get him through 5th grade Chinese....he can do it, just doesn't like it. On ward and up ward!

That weekend, March 3rd, was Stephanie and Devin's Open House at Mom's. I went down on Friday to visit and had a fun time seeing them.
On Saturday we went down and helped with the food. Quite a few people came.

Then came my birthday on the 7th. I went to lunch with Julie Spilker and Julie Wiggins. Neither knew it was my birthday. :) That night Jason brought home flowers and cupcakes from Sweet Tooth Fairy. I had gone earlier that day to Nothing Bundt Cakes to get my free birhthday Bundlet and that is what Jason had gone in to try and buy....just at the wrong store. :) No pictures of any of it!
Don't have a picture, but the following Saturday, Jason and Jacob went skiing.
On the 13th Lisa, Birthe, Inez and I had lunch together to celebrate our birthdays. Birthe is 58 and we're 54. So amazing to see our lives 34 years after we met and how things have changed.
On Monday (12th), of the same week, Jason woke up and his ankle was sore and painful. Tuesday more of the same. By Wednesday he was limping when he got home and in a lot of pain if it was touched or moved. I went and bought an ankle brace, but it didn't help much.
Thursday morning we took him to Instacare. They felt it should be looked at in the ER. We had Jacob because he was home sick with a couch and fever. So I dropped him off at Randy's and we headed to St. Mark's hospital. In this first room the PA looked at it and felt it was gout. She ordered some blood work and went to consult with the Dr. After many hours the results came back--not gout and probably infection since he had MR SA years ago.
In the ER getting ready to give more blood. I took this picture at the risk of my own life.
Around 5 p.m. they got him up to a room where we set up his work stuff. He has a trip to Singapore in April and the group going has calls a couple times a week with Singapore going over information. Jason was supposed to lead the call that night. He set up and was ready to go. Again, he didn't know I took this picture.
So at this writing, (3/17/18) he is still in the hospital with and IV of antibiotics. It is helping his foot feel better so hoping they are on the right track. They took cultures on Thursday afternoon that have to grow to show if there is infection. It can take several days. We are playing the waiting game.
In the mean time, I am here at home with Jacob. He is still sick with fever and cough so I shouldn't take him to anyone's house and infect them. It could be the flu, which means it is hard to get up to see Jason. I have had a similar case, but started last weekend and haven't been as sick. Though I still cough a little and have a stuffy nose. I am really tired of it.

Jason was released yesterday, Sunday and came home. They still don't really know what was it was or what caused it, but he is better. Jacob is still home sick today. I took him to the Dr. on Saturday and he has bronchititis. Could go on for several days. His fever is lower today and he seems more chipper. I am really hoping this is the lasts day!
Jacob is 10! Amazing!! He got up and on the kitchen table was a candy bar board.
