Two Saturdays ago Andi’s fiancee had a seizure and had to be taken to the ER by ambulance. They did all kinds of tests on him and couldn’t find a reason for the seizure. They did a CAT scan and other stuff including blood work, urine test and had him on oxygen and a finger pulse oximeter.
The urine test was to see if he had a UTI or not and they were supposed to call him with the results… they never did. Then last Saturday he was peeing blood and stuff and went back to the ER. After many hours there they finally decided he did in fact have a UTI. He was given a script for Cipro and sent home.
If they had figured that out the week before then that UTI wouldn’t have gotten as bad as it did and could have been cured quickly. I swear that hospital is beginning to go down the tubes. Even though it’s only 5 minutes away I’m beginning to think if something happens I want to find a better hospital to go to even if I have to travel further to get there.

We traveled by car to Texas just about a year ago to take the boys down to their mom. I’m so glad I didn’t take them down by myself. Of course having 2 young boys along we had to stop at rest areas to use the restrooms and Eddie seemed to have a fascination with the hand dryers. Hubby had to keep telling him to stop messing with them.
It would have been hard on me and could have been dangerous letting them go into the men’s restroom on their own since it would have been very awkward if I went in there with them or took them into the ladies room. But it all worked out without too much aggravation on hubby’s part.
If you’re a single mom or dad how do you work out the restroom thing when you travel with your son or daughter?

I’ve lost interest in only doing travel and news on this blog and I’ll be posting other things too. I don’t want to clog up my main blog with too many posts so I’ll be doing some here.. as you’ve already seen.
I will still be doing some travel and news posts too just not all the time.

Next month Andi will be bringing the boys up to their dad’s and taking Tayler down to Texas with her for the summer. So she’s getting ready for the trip by cleaning out some things. She’s deciding what to pack like tylenol, Apidexin, clothes, the boys xbox, Eddie’s meds for his ADHD, etc.
She will be driving up and probably leaving Texas on June 13th or so and will be here almost 2 weeks. She’s almost 6 months pregnant and this will be her last trip up here before the baby is born. She’s due to have a c-section on August 25th and is having a boy.

Have you noticed that since unlocked phones have become more popular that pay phones have started vanishing? Cell phones have become a staple in peoples lives. They’re convenient and are easier to use than to have to make sure you have change on you.
Even house phones are becoming obsolete in some households. I don’t have a house phone.. only my cell and hubby has his. Cell phones are great when traveling. We don’t have to try to find a pay phone we only have to make sure we bring the chargers with us. We don’t have to use the phones, and get charged for calls, in motels.
I don’t see many pay phones around anymore. They used to be on almost every corner and outside almost every convenience store and grocery store. There used to be tons at rest stops on the interstates too… now there are only a few and I rarely see anyone using them.
