Yay! My daddy's home!
I came home from playing with Hannah and Megan today and there was a big surprise waiting for me – my daddy was back home! Yay!
I should probably back up a bit. Last week my daddy was not feeling well. He had a bad cold. Even though he needed to stay away from me, I still tried to make him feel better from afar. Unfortunately, on Thursday while I was over at Hannah’s, my daddy’s doctor called and told him he needed to go the hospital for some tests. Well, my daddy went and then they kept him (how rude, right?). I wasn’t allowed to visit because I’m too young. We video chatted on the computer a few times, but it just wasn’t the same. I really missed my daddy. He had to stay at the hospital the whole weekend and Monday too. They finally let him come home today.
He told me he is feeling much better. He said he still needs to be careful around me – no kisses for the time being (which totally stinks!) – but just having him in the same room is MUCH better. As soon as I saw him, I gave him one of my big ol’ smiles, just so he knew how much I missed him. He gave me a big hug and now we are back to being buddies again. So happy to have my daddy home!
(Dad note: Sorry this is the first many of you are hearing of this. Kind of took us by surprise and I didn’t want to post until we knew what was going on. Some tests my doctor gave me indicated my liver was acting abnormally and that’s what ended up sending me to the hospital. The liver levels were still high through the weekend and thus, I had to stay and let them monitor me. They still don’t know 100% what is wrong, but the leading guess is something called CMV. Apparently it is all over the place and most people are exposed by the time they are my age, but a small percentage are not and it can cause the symptoms I was having. I guess one way to think of it is its like a mono-type virus. I’ll need to take it easy for a little while and keep getting tests to make sure everything is recovering as it should – but it is really good to be home. I was away from Maile for 5.5 days – the longest I ever have been. I’m convinced she gained about 5 pounds and grew 5 inches while I was gone! I think just having her around will help me get better…)
Daddy, I'm going to take good care of you - no more disappearing to the hospital for you!
I missed you too, Maile girl, very, very good to be home!
