Through Sickness....

This weekend brought a few surprises....mainly Nate getting sick.

What started as a seemingly painful pimple turned into this:


And after some coaxing to get Nate to go to the doctor, we found out what we thought was very wrogn, and in fact Nate has a Staph Infection.
Yup.
It looked painful and according to Nate, it was.
So fast forward a few days after some heavy antibiotics and Nate is as good as new (whew!).
To be honest I was afraid it was going to be one of those freaky stories you hear about spiders laying eggs in someones face or ear or something and Nate was going to hatch little spider babies out his face. So while I understand a staph infection is quite serious, I have to admit I am relieved he isn't goign to be a proud father to thousands of baby spiders.

Well it made it to the blog! In sickness and in health is right :-) I am glad you're on the mend Nate! P.S. Nick wants a written note from Nate's doctor that he has a clean bill of health before next weekend. (what a jerk) lol.
Can't WAIT to see you guys. Love ya.

Nate are you sure Greta did not clock you with a left hook? Glad you are getting better. Staph can be nasty bad.
Nick pop in on your way up north. I can hook you up with N95 respirator masks, gloves, disposable gowns etc to make your stay more enjoyable.
