Well Tuesday started out much the usual although we had originally planned on spending the day at Bobby's house with the "boys", Annsley and Gabe but that changed when we got word Huck contracted a bug; throwing up and diarrhea and we both wanted no part of that so we cancelled on going over in the morning. Little did we know all that changed around 3:30 when we got word Katie was taking Huck to the emergency room at Tampa General Hospital. I'll go into more of that later.
I did my usual routines; cup of hot green tea, quiet times and then my social media comments after checking the world news on FOX and Drudge. Both of these give me a some what unbiased reporting of what's taking place whereas the MSM has become a front for the despicable democrat party. I can not in all honestly stand to watch any of their reporters who are just pundits and who editorialize about the news and disregard the real facts, often twisting them to fit the agenda they are trying to sell to the nation about how much they hate our Potus Trump or how corrupt he is when in fact its their people who are guilty of what they are publishing.
I headed out for a long bike ride after eating an apple for my breakfast and then came back to work outside in the garden and yards. It was overcast but no chance of rain which is needed. I hand watered the gardens and them made a lot of St.Augustine grass clippings and put them in an area where they will root and then in a couple weeks I'll transplant them into the back yard's bare areas. Nancy had made a ham salad and we had that for lunch. I had earlier met with our water softner technician who came out to check out unit since Nancy complained of seeing what she thought was salt building up on her water pitcher. It was actually calcium as the softner wasn't working properly. I spent another couple hundred bucks to fix this machine which is over 20 years old. I began checking my past records and the next time it fails it time to replace this unit as the repairs are more than the original unit. At least that issue is fixed for now. It seems when you lose appliances they go in 3's and so did ours; first the coffee maker, second the microwave oven and now the water softner , oh well.
I was lounging after lunch on the internet as the heat became too oppressive to be working outside when Nancy came in a said we have to go to the hospital as Huck was being taking to the E.R. Seems he was throwing up and having constant diarrhea after seeing the doctor on Monday. They originally thought it was a virus so we stayed away but now the doctors think it was a bacterial infection along with now dehydration. He was admitted for at least overnight and possibly another day or so. They got an IV into his foot and have him on antibiotic's for now. He seems a little better the last we checked before heading home from Brandon. We went to help Bobby with Ryder and the other kiddo's and helped with their care as Bobby had lots to do plus sterilize the house. We ate pizza and salad with them and played a couple board games with Annsley and Gabe before heading to the hospital to drop off some items for Katie in her car.
Katie was spending the night with Huck and giving reports to Bobby and us on his condition and all the tests they were running on him. It was going on 10 before we got home and it was shower time for me, LATER
