Altena Update


This weekend we are headed to Ankeny, IA for state AAU Volleyball tournament. We are leaving at noon on Friday and the tournament is all day on Saturday and then we will be headed home again!!
Jamie has had a rough week again - remember bout a month ago she had strep throat - well last week Monday she was complaining of her throat again and there was Influenza going around here - we took her in on Tuesday and they tested her for influenza came back negative YEAH(i thought at least at the time) and said she had tongsilitis??? not sure on spelling sent us home with an antibiotic. She was on this medicine all week and Monday morning this week she and I were having breakfast and she turned her head and it looked like she had a golf ball in her neck so I said something is still wrong here and she was still complaining bout her throat hurting (CRAP) so I took her in again and they did blood work - well Jamie Marie has MONO :( we cancelled all of her activities for the week (after many tears from her) and she has rested all week. Doc said she may play volleyball this weekend as much as she can tolerate ( if I know her at all she will tolerate it the whole day) So tomorrow we are off to Ankeny and Jamie is going to play and I think she is getting better each day this week - I let her sleep in in the mornings and bring her to school when she wakes and put her to bed early and we are pumping lots of vitamins. Just say a little prayer for her this Saturday and hope she has a good day - THANKS!
Marcus is staying back and taking care of the house and Paco - Mike and I have dinner reservations with Burt and Betty on Friday evening - Jamie will stay at the hotel with her team and have pizza. Good weekend to be gone its only suppose to be around 40 degrees here - I am really ready for the spring weather.
