Much ado in Menomonie
Well, what Micah thought was the flu turned out to be a kidney infection. Fun! We found this out in Urgent care in Menomonie, Wisconsin on Thursday morning.
Micah is feeling a little better than 24 hours ago. He was really in bad shape there! We were concerned this morning that he still wasn’t that much better after 24 hours on the meds but the nurse told me to give it another 24 hours before we get alarmed. I think it was pretty bad so that medicine has it’s work cut out for it! Poor Micah!
We explained our traveling situation to the doctor and she made sure Micah got 2 shots AND the prescription to assure he didn’t need to be seen again. (side note: Walmart $4 prescriptions rock!) She also took our number and told us she would call this weekend for an update. She was a nice young doctor and quite nice. She enjoyed Micah’s jokes! Yes, even in as bad of shape as he was, he was STILL joking with the staff.
I will update tomorrow. For now, he is sleeping and getting better. He has juice and water and protein shakes. I am taking good care of him! My poor husband!
For those of you from my college days; Menomonie has upgraded quite a bit from what we experienced! Lots of new shops and restaurants as well as new campus buildings! I had a sub at Acoustic Cafe (micah was sleeping and no appetite) and I drove all around to see what was here and what wasn’t. I was happy to see that “The Flame” was still there. It looks a little different and they are toting it as a Sports bar but it was nice to see it anyway!
Classes are out for the year so it is quiet here. I bet the locals like the break times!
Weather is beautiful! I am writing this as I sit by a campfire drinking a leftover wedding rum drink. Micah is inside sleeping and the dogs are out here with me. We are in a nice little campground here and as memorial weekend comes up, it has gotten busier. They said we could stay in our spot as long as we needed as it wasn’t reserved for the weekend. This will be our 3rd night here.
Fingers crossed Micah feels much better tomorrow! = )
