Rain at last or sick wife 3

Saturday was the day the family returned to GA. We slept in and I loaded the car with trash (I went over and took Steve’s too) and went to the recycle center. On the way back I went to the craft sale looking for a gift to take to Kimberly’s birthday party tomorrow. I didn’t find anything I was comfortable with. I came home and found the family helping by cleaning some of the house and dishes. The adults had a great time at the Mystery Train Ride and the kids and I had a good time last night. I made sure that everyone knew how much I liked the evening and the visit. I called the Urgent Care after learning that Evelyn had a fever of just under 100 again. The receptionist said there was a line so we decided to wait here until the nurse called back. No one called the rest of the day. The family left just before noon and went to Taco Bell for their lunch. I had the last hot dog from the grill on last Wednesday. Evelyn got up and came to the living room about 1:30. We took her temperature and found it was just above normal. I let Evelyn talk me out of going to the Urgent Care, but I made her eat some macaroni and cheese so she could regain some strength. She had eaten nothing since Thursday night and vomited that up. She immediately returned to bed and stayed there until after 5. I watched Arena football. During the game we got a long overdue thunderstorm. I took the potted plants out to get some natural watering. When she came out at 5:30, her temperature registered at 101.2 again. I dragged her to Urgent Care where the temperature was slightly above normal. We think it was because she had taken her medicine with water. She has gastroenteritis and was given two shots and a prescription. She has had nausea and headaches plus painful joints. The shots are to fight those. No pharmacies were open so we couldn’t fill the script. We came home and she went to bed while I watched the Cubs win
