A few weeks ago, my dad came up to spend the day with us then play golf with some friends. When he got here, he wasn't feeling well. His had a sniff neck, horrible headache, and was extremely tired (all similar symptoms to when Bryan spent four days in the hospital from a tick bite). He slept most of the day and just seemed to get worse as the day went on. We talked him into skipping golf and sleeping in the next day. When he woke up, he said he wanted to go to the ER. So we KNEW he wasn't feeling well!!!!! Since it was so last minute, Bryan took the girls to work while I took my dad to the hospital.
Long story, short- my dad was admitted to the hospital and spent 4 days with Ehrlichiosis, a tick borne illness similar to Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever!
I kept checking in with Bryan to see how the girls were doing! One time when I asked, his response was "well- just cleaning up tee tee on my carpet"!!!!! He ran downstairs to get a cup of coffee and told the girls not to leave his office. A few minutes later he heard Emory crying. She needed to go to the potty REALLY bad, but he said not to leave his office! and the bathroom was right across the hall!!!
after a few days of the antibiotic, my dad began feeling better .The girls were super worried about Pawpaw. Emory kept looking at the IV in his arm and asking questions.
Dad- no more searching in the woods for your golf balls!!!!!!
