Welcome back to Bakersfield

We drove 544 miles yesterday and got to Bakersfield about 2pm and Kim wasn't feeling good. She said she was going to call in sick on Tuesday so she could come down with us to Riverside on Tuesday afternoon for Vance's funeral on Wednesday. You shouldn't plan on calling in sick because you sometimes jinx yourself and you really do get sick. Well, it happened, Kim was sick, she ended up calling into work sick on Monday night, she couldn't hold anything down. All night long she was sick so 1st thing this morning she called the doctor and they told her to get to the hospital. Dave went with her to the hospital, Valley had a vet appointment so I took her there, better me then Dave. They mainly wanted Kim in to get an IV in her for fluid and Dave could handle that one. Anyway, Valley had ear infections and now they found a heart mermer (can't spell). Danny left school and met Dave and Kim at the hospital where she is now on her second IV, but doing fine. Today Dave was going to take Kim and Danny's dog, Chelsea, in to have her put to sleep, but guess who's shoulders it falls on now.
Boy, this is turning out to be a great week for all of us, welcome back to Bakersfield.
