Journal entry by Christine Thompson —
I haven’t updated in a while because things have been really hectic at home. I’ll start by saying Oliver is healing beautifully and playing and feeling like himself again! On Thursday, after we came home from the hospital, I noticed I wasn’t feeling well. After I spiked a fever I went to see the NP where I tested positive for the flu. Lowell was all lined up to care for Ollie when Friday morning his dad passed away. “Grand L” as my kids call him was such a beloved family member and his passing was fairly sudden. Sometimes everything seems to happen at once. We decided to send Ollie to my moms for a few days so Lowell could focus on helping his mom. Luckily, no one else caught the flu and he’s been getting spoiled rotten over the weekend. I disinfected the house and am planning to get him home in the morning. I can’t wait to see him!!
