Darren must have been right when he thought Jackson had a fever Thursday night because he had one yesterday when he returned from school. After 20 minutes of trying to decide how to quarantine Jackson from Matthew, Darren called his mom. Although we feel unbelievably guilty shipping our sick son to his grandparents house, we just can’t risk Matthew catching any new ailment this close to the PDA procedure. We know Jackson is well cared for at Darren’s folks’ house and will have a great time despite feeling yucky. (A million thank yous to Joy and Larry!)
We hope that Jackson has the same ailment the rest of us already had/have or it is something non-contagious (like an ear infection). We know that kids get sick, and it is all part of being parents to 3 little kids, but right now the risks of exposure for Matthew are dire. Matthew needs his heart fixed…soon.
I think I’m going to stop praying that things get less complicated and just pray things don’t get any more complicated. We are acutely aware that things could be worse, much worse. We are thankful for all we have and where we are today!
