Update 4/20

Sorry it's been a while since I've sent an update! We've had quite a bit going on. First Luca got sick with Strep (again). He was out for several days until we found the right antibiotic. When he had it a month ago we found out on his last dose that he is allergic to Penicillin so we had to find the right one to work this time. About the day Luca got better and was ready to go to daycare, we needed to attend our friend Frank's funeral in Kansas City (last Wed), then Nico came home sick on Thursday. We took him in on Saturday and had him tested for Strep and it was negative. We figured it was the flu since he'd had just a fever. By Tuesday he was still not any better (sleeping all the time and still a high fever). This time the Dr did a blood test and confirmed that he has a bacterial infection and mono. He's been home all week. He tried going back to school today but came home later this morning because he is just too tired. He may be fighting this for some time to come.

Joe started chemo on Tues/Wed and is doing as good as he usually does. He's been attending baseball games. Noah had a game last night and had a great inning of pitching. He came in to start the last inning and struck out the 1st batter, hit the 2ND batter and struck out the next two batters to end the game. Unfortunately they still lost the game. Nico has had to miss his last 2 games.

I have finally started to feel better after about 4 weeks on my thyroid medicine. It's actually pretty amazing how much better I feel. We just need to keep everyone healthy! Hope everyone else is doing well.

God bless!
