    Yep, got books, got curricula and kids, and I think it may be time to scan and organize 30 years of photos which are sitting in a huge drawer.

     

    I broke it.... Uhhhhhh...... Running. And falling.....then running on it. I was totally in denial until I couldnt get out of my car without using my hands to swing my leg out of the door. Going to have a great first semester back to school. I am grounded, so....they are too.

    I don't know if this is a dup post or not,  but I haven't been online much lately. 

     

    I have been working out though....and yesterday ran my furthest distance ever....18 miles..3:28   Meant to run 15, but miscalculated my route.  Ended up at the bottom of a VERY steep hill which runs 3 miles straight up! (I live in a very hilly/ mountainous area).  The last 3 miles were VERY ugly, but I finished them....mostly walking, hobbling, cursing, etc.

    I got tired of waiting around for everyone to do stuff with me, so I started making my own plans. I started running and signed up for races. You could do whatever you like....just do it! No one wants to hang out with someone who is boring. Become who you want to be! Then, they will try to distract you from your plans!

    Talking here about adult children?

    I still post about my adult kids because it is relevant to the discussion many times. They WERE homeschooled. They ARE self learners, outside of the box, and the result of their homeschooling is the foundation of who they are... And an extension of who they are becoming. Keep posting. ðŸ˜

    Just a quick update before I head back in.When we go here we were surprised to find him in the isolation section of the icu. We have to gown, glove, and mask. He has a 104 degree fever that will go down for a hour or so and then back up to 104/105. His white blood cells are so low they can't give ibuprofen and he maxxed out on tylonol yesterday. We've been packing him with ice. He is hallucinating (which later will be hilarious) um let's see. Liver enzymes high also. Tge tests for typhoid and malaria take days to come back- like until wednesday. So they have iv fluids going and a antibiotic. No water because his salt level is low.

    This is my very healthy crunchy western son. He is furious that a medical dr would tell him to drink gatorade when that is all chemicals sugar ajd artificials. He is vegan and cooks all his own foods. I went to whole foods last night and got him some fruit, hummus, and kumbocha. The docs don't want him drinking the kumbocha because they dont want to introduce more bacteria (even good ones) to his gut.

    They did want him to eat and drink so we are working on finding some foods that work.

    My DH took the overnight so I could get a nap. I'm headed back into the hospital now.

     

    Oh yeah and some background. He was in India from May until June before he headed back out to his park service job here in utah. He didn't get malaria shots this time, but had them 10 years ago when he was 13. So they are thinking he had partial immunity and that's why it so long to present- if it is malaria.

    I understand the Gatorade thing completely! If you have time, water, some honey, a pinch of sea salt and a bit of lemon juice will do the same as a Gatorade without all the junk. I use that when I do long runs and it works well.
