Yikes! What a way to start the summer!

We took this week (Monday to Friday) after a very hectic June so we could start July nice and refreshed. Although it did start off relaxing it seems to have ended off with a bit of a bang.

Duane and I took our kids to Ottawa to celebrate Canada's day in our nation's capital. All went well and we had a blast.

However, after meeting up for lunch with one of our dear friends, Duane feel ill. He had a terrible pain in his side. This lasted for at least 2 hours before Duane decided he needed to go to the hospital - big step this guy never complains about any pain. It was our great fear that he may need to have his appendix removed.

We went to a gas station where the lovely lady running the station called an ambulance and Duane was picked up. I had no idea where we were... After about five hours of being in the hosptial, blood work, ultrasounds, etc. they had no idea what was wrong with Duane. What they did know is that the pain killers made his horrible pain go away and that his white blood cell cound was up slightly. So Duane was released.

Fortunately, Duane is feeling better but no great yet. I'm hoping that he'll come back to his own self by the end of the week.

We then got a call on Friday where Nathan told us that he too was in the hospital. The poor guy put out his back. Yuck.

It seems that we are one hurting unit here. I hope, from the bottom of my heart, that these two guys get better and soon! They will be missed while they are getting better but their health is paramount.

Get better guys! :)
