Camping over the 4th of July

Wow, Its been a month since I wrote on here. So i’m not sure I updated everyone on my throat issue… No news is good news, i guess because everything was fine.
So this summer has already flown by… we went down to southern idaho right after the 4th of July and had an amazing visit with George’s Family. We were down in HSB for the 4th of july so we went down to the HSB firework show. It was a very very good show for such a small down. Kiersten loved them. She just sat on her daddy’s lap and watched the fireworks go and blow up.
(Later we were camping and a gun went off and she pointed to the sky and said WOW, i guess she really remembered the fireworks). Anyhow the fireworks were great on Saturday and then on Sunday we took all day pretty much to get ready for camping. We went shopping for food and packed everything and then Monday morning we headed out to camp.
We camped outside of Cascade, up by Warm Lake. It was a great relaxing time. Kiersten loved camping although she was up atleast once every night while out camping, and she slept through the night the first night home. So I think she was glad to be home. Anyhow Kiersten had a blast with all of her cousins. Carson and her played together so well, while Ciara and Calvin were big enough to go fishing with the guys! We had an amazing camp area set up and it was so fun and relaxing seeing all the family and hanging out, outside all week. The only bad part about the whole even was the bugs. There was alot of biting bugs!
We arrived home on Friday, and we picked up everything through the weekend and got back to normal life…however Monday rolled around and George started getting sick. He didn’t sleep through the night for three nights. I didn’t really realize he felt so miserable because he hadn’t really complained. Until Thursday when he got up and went to work and then ended up back home by 9am. I asked him what was wrong and he said he was sick, and hurt.
Anyhow his symptoms were severe neck and back pain, cough, and high fevers. And all around muscle aches. We went to the doctor, and he tested him for alot of things and ruled everything out. His diagnoses was that he thought George had West nile virus, and had pneumonia from his body being week and trying to fight the virus. Anyhow the doctor said that if he gets worse he needs to come back in, however…there is nothing they can do except treat the symptoms.
So he is on antibiotics for the pneumonia and on pain medicine for the pain. He was still is very week…however he did start going back to work. He has to rest alot and gets very week and tired when just walking from the vehicle to the house! Its a little crazy but I believe that he is getting better!
So here is the pictures from the week of camping…
