Things just haven't worked out like they were supposed to the past few days... On Sunday, the whole family was to meet at Heather and David's to celebrate Brandon's sixteenth birthday. On Friday morning we got a call from Robin that there was a plan change - Joshua had developed the sniffles and, with Andrick's immune system depressed by anti-rejection drugs, they didn't want to risk exposure.
Little did they know that by Saturday, our birthday boy was going to be running a temperature of a hundred and two! Lots of masks being worn in the DeeMinter household.
Back in Costa Mesa, the truth was, we were a little relieved that we didn't have to be the first to spoil the party. Low grade fevers, coming and going, had both of us feeling punky on Friday, as did the body aches that went with them. We've been slowly recovering, but not soon enough to leave on Tuesday for a four night get-away in San Luis Obispo. (That's right, the trip we never got to take last year!)
Good new is that today we're both feeling the best we have. We are contemplating a couple of possible day trips to take this week to make up for our lost vacation. And, the whole family WILL be together again soon. On the fifteen we'll have a double birthday celebration for Brandon and Jonathan at Heather's.
