Sick

I'm going to try to make this short. This last week has been crazy. Brandon finished his finals on Wednesday and he and I got to go out to dinner without the kids for the first time since we've been here. Hooray!

On Thursday he had a CT scan and they found an abscess so the VA sent him to the VA hospital in Salt Lake and there he stayed until Monday so that they could give him antibiotics and monitor his progress.

He was released on Monday so Tuesday we decided to go get some of our shopping done that we weren't able to get done while he was ill and on Wednesday we were going to finish our shopping up, but I came down with the stomach flu sometime during the night and we are not going anywhere.

We have also decided to postpone Christmas until Saturday. My dad's coming into town Thursday evening, so we decided that it would be nice for him to be able to be here to open presents and then we can get our shopping done on Friday when all the Christmas stuff is on super-sale.

So far, our plan is still to go down to Phoenix for New Years. We're crossing our fingers...
