Sick Husband

Here is my handsome husband at the airport waiting to get on the plane to Mexico.  The trip that just about didn’t happen.  Ed got a nasty case of bronchitis that had him on antibiotics, two kinds that should have fixed him up.  But on Tuesday just three days before we are supposed to leave he is feeling really rotten again, coughing a lot and he doesn’t have any more antibiotics to take.

He went to the doctor to see what was going on and he gave him a new stronger antibiotic, and inhaler and sent him for a chest xray.  What!  The doctor wanted to rule out pneumonia before we left for Mexico.  He got the xray on Tuesday evening and we waited………

 

and waited…………………………..

 

We had cancellation insurance on our trip so we would bet our money back but then when would we go?  My heart was breaking, of course I wasn’t going to risk anything going wrong when we were in Mexico, I did not want to end up in a Mexican hospital.  So we waited……………….

 

Ed called a couple of times on Wednesday and no the doctor still had not looked at the xrays…………………

 

Thursday morning we wake up to snow, a lot of snow and it is still snowing………………………..so if we are going to go we now think we should go to Calgary to stay in a hotel so that we can be closer to the airport.  But we still do not know……………………………………..

 

 

Finally at 10:47am on Thursday we get the ok for Ed to fly.  Whew!

 

I was so happy and relieved. 

 

Mom and Dad came to look after the kids and we got on the road about 8pm.  In to the hotel at about 10:30pm where we slept till two and headed to the airport in the shuttle at 3am.  And then we were off!
