Vacation........ I think NOT!

Killbear, July 2008 should be the title of this entry with tons of pictures of all the camping fun that we SHOULD
have had...... well you can see that is not so. On our way to Killbear on Saturday the 26th of July we stopped at Wendy's in Nobel - Darren ate a chicken burger - we all ate hamburgers. We arrived at camp and got all set up, looking forward to 10 glorious days. The next day Darren began to feel sick and by Tuesday morning I was worried sick and so we decided with Darren's medical history we'd better get him checked out..... off to West Parry Sound Medical Center. My Dad took him, I stayed back with the kids, at dinner time Dad returned without Darren, WHAT?? They admitted him, so off I went to see what was up. They had him in complete isolation (I had to wear gloves, mask & the whole get up), he was on IV - morphine drip for the extreme pain, I was sort of panicked, but had to worry about my kids too. THANK GOODNESS my parents were there to help me out!! Well by Friday they determined it was Samonella poisoning..... we don't know for sure, but think the cause was the Wendy's on the way in. grrrr. Due to Darren's compromised immune system, his reaction was much worse then most people. We are sooooo thankful that he was okay and was able to come 'home' to camp. My parents took Jules home with them and so Darren, the boys and I stayed at camp until Sunday. The kids still had a great week, but I'll write more about the week at camp when I have a chance to post some pictures. Darren is starting to feel better, but is still very tired all the time, we are just so thankful that he's okay, PRAISE THE LORD!

Oh my word Kim! That's brutal! What a way to spend your family camping trip. I'm so glad Darren's feeling better - what a scare.
