Summon your eagle powers.

Sometimes, it is more healing to make a pallet and watch a stupid movie than to have intimate conversations.

This has been a rough week for the Byrd family.

First off, I would like to have words with April 15. I would like to tell it to hurry up and get here because it is stressing my husband out. Poor Tommy has worked SO HARD this week. It is just the nature of tax accounting and it will be over soon, but it has been quite a doozy for him. This is probably the roughest week he has had yet.

Secondly, my sister ended up having an infection and had to go back into the hospital for surgery. SHE HAD A BABY 4 WEEKS AGO. Things happened pretty much like this:

Saturday: her c-section incision started to get a little inflamed and tender.
Sunday: Still inflamed, she called the Dr, and they said to come in on Monday as long as she didn't have a fever
Monday: Went to the Dr, definitely infected, started penicillin
Tuesday: Hi infection, glad you decided to RUPTURE. Blood everywhere.
Tuesday night: Oh hi surgery, guess we have to open Jenn back up to get the infection out.
Wednesday: Wound vacuum attached to Jenn's OPEN WOUND. CAT scan. Oh hi, STAPH. And goodbye Austin, Jenn can't hold or touch you.
Thursday night: finally found out it's not MRSA strain of staph (the deadly one) so Jenn can hold the baby again.

She is in the hospital till Monday. She has to wear the wound vacuum for a MONTH. This is basically a tube coming from sponges that are inside the open wound, sucking out all the nasty STAPH-y blood and pus.

Friends and family took shifts staying with Jenn and the babe during the days and my parents took him home at night. Last night, her husband stayed the night at the hospital with her and the baby.

There is ALOT ahead of them, so please keep them in your prayers.

So as you can see, it was quite a week. Between work and the hospital and my night class, Tommy and I hadn't seen much of each other and were pretty on edge. So we cuddled up and watched Nacho. It was good. :)
