Hi guys - we're back in beautiful, cool (?) Green Bay, where the current temp is 93 degrees! Once we crossed the WI line (from UP Michigan), the A/C in the car decided it no longer felt like working. It was a warm last hour coming home and then unpacking the car in the sweltering garage and into the sweltering (turned off the air before we left) house! I'm still sitting here sweating at the computer, with piles of stuff all over the house to be put away and about 100 loads of laundry needing to be done!
We're all grubby - decided to try to get out without fighting the lines at the showers at the campground several miles away. Unfortunately, although we had beautiful weather all week, it decided to start storming, lightning/thunder, etc. first thing this morning. So DH and I were quickly grabbing everything all over the yard and cramming it into the cabin while the kids were still sleeping trying to keep it out of the rain. Then we got to load up everything in the rain, including 4 bikes on the bike rack and a big roof carrier. Lots of fun. Waiting for my turn in the shower here at home!
DS12 and DH went to a glow golf thing we found just a few miles from the campground last night. Real golf (9 holes) but with the holes, carts, bunkers, and balls illuminated. Started around 10:30 and got back to the cabin around 1:30am! You can imagine how thrilled they were to get up early this morning! And DS12 has soccer tonight, tomorrow to recover (and hit the dentist, ortho, band class, and piano), then heads to camp for 12 days on Tuesday!
Was skimming my emails and found that the hotel we're staying at Tuesday night is no longer a Quality Inn and I had to confirm my reservations or lose them with the new hotel. He and I are taking the ferry across Tuesday night and spending the night in Muskegon before camp starts Wed morning. Not a good sign when I called like 10 times before anyone ever picked up. They did have our reservation however - it was only a 1 star hotel in the first place so I guess we won't expect much!
DS13 is doing a lot better. I haven't looked at his hand since I bandaged it up good yesterday, but I think it's a bit better. There's so much dead skin all over it it's hard to tell, and of course he won't let me touch it or try to get any off. I'll look at it in a bit when he showers here! Status report:
Knee - pretty much better
Chin - well on the road to recovery
Above lip - still pretty bad, but I think healing
Shoulder - healing, but with some pus
Hand - most cuts all over knuckles, etc. healing. Palm still in question!
If he's really bad tomorrow, I'll call the doctor. Otherwise, he'll just keep it bandaged and see how it is when I get back Wed night and take him in Thursday. He's in good spirits, etc., though so if we can stay away from the hand getting infected (my fear now), then we should be okay!
By the way, I cut up the panty liner to use on his hand and knee - luckily (for him) not his forehead!
I'll try to catch up on this thread when I can - I skimmed it really fast - thanks for all the well wishes for him!
