Strange Week and Weather

It has been a strange week. Our sweet 21-month-old grandson had a terrible case of the stomach flu with fever. Lasting about 48 hours, it was very worrisome. So I only had him here for two-and-a-half days. 

Now we are waiting for our third really big snow storm of the winter. We are in a winter storm warning from late tonight until Monday morning. So strange. The first Sundays in January and February 2014 we had to cancel church worship services due to ice and snow. It is looking very probable that we will have to do the same tomorrow, the first Sunday in March. This is unprecedented for our church.

As I look out the living room window, my two bird feeders hanging from our top deck are very busy. I filled them up yesterday, and also the front yard feeders anticipating the snow and bitter cold we are expecting. Maybe the birds are eating up knowing what is coming. And our wind chimes on the lower deck are making constant 'music' as the north wind blows in.

From a Distance

Our little guy is sick and his mother is staying home with him. He was "off" yesterday and by mid-afternoon he had the stomach flu. A sure sign was when he didn't want to do water play before lunch and then was falling asleep in his high chair. 

Our daughter is keeping us updated. Last evening he was still sick and sleeping on the sofa so they could keep an eye on him. No update yet this morning.

I remember those days of stomach flu with our daughters. Lots of concern, laundry, buckets, Lysol, videos, camping out on our family room floor, and worry. Now I don't do all that, however I do think about him and am worried/concerned from a distance. Less messy this way, less work, still the concern.

So I'm thankful our daughter updates us. And I'm anxious to hear from her this morning. And although I will have a day off from Nana Care it will cause me to be a bit "off."
