Our trip

This past week we headed to North Carolina o see my husbands sister get married. Our plane left last Tuesday morning (july 15) at 6:40 am. Well amongst all the craziness of packing my husband was having really bad stomach pain on Monday, the day before we leave. It got so bad that he went to urgent care. He arrived at urgent care and was filling out paper work and one question was, are you having shortness of breathe? when he answered yes to that question, a screen popped up on the computer and said , go to front desk immediately. they took him back and asked some more questions... Then proceeded to tell him he needs to go to the ER. Which was his first plan, but i sent him to urgent care because it was 200 dollars cheaper. Anyways He gets to ER and they do a cat scan. Results---- he has appendicitis. So he has to get his appendix taken out. Just remember this all happening on the day before we leave for North Carolina!!! To make a long story short. The surgeon came in and Roy told her that we have a flight leaving at 6:40 Am tomorrow and i have to be on it. She said ok and within 3 hours surgery was done and we were on our way home. They would normally keep you overnight but Roy insisted on coming home. She said it was ok for him to leave on the plain the next morning and gave him lots of pain pills so he could make it through the week. His instructions were to take it easy and he could not lift anything over 10 lbs for the first week. So leaving town the next day with 3 suitcases weighing the bare minimum of 48 lbs each, a 2yr old , a 2 week old, and now a husband who can not help for anything. Just to let everyone know-- we did not get on the 6:40 am flight the next day. You would have to be kidding, i still had to pack and have enough items in my 5 carry on bags to keep everyone entertained for a 3 hour flight, 2 hour layover, and then another 1 hour flight. We actually left at 11 pm Tuesday night. i figured it would not be so bad, give or take it was an overnight flight and we would all sleep!! besides the 2 hour layover which ended up being 3 1/2 hours because of mechanical problems. Anyways that is only what happened on Monday and Tuesday. We finally got to North Carolina Wed. morning around 11 am. Our trip was great, the wedding was wonderful and we had tons of fun, but i am extremely happy to be home!!! Also extremely exhausted because my husband could not help with much of anything. he could barely even walk, he had to be wheel chaired thru the 2 airports while i had Parker in the sling while pushing Ryland and all 5 carry on bags in the huge double stroller. Definitely rethinking what the heck i was thinking going on this trip with no help!! Here are some pics of the trip. hope you enjoy!!!
