things are looking better

Russell is doing better.  No fever, no throwing up for almost two days now, and the breathing is much better too.  Now we just have to help him regain the weight lost and his strength.  He's just weak after being so sick.  Of course, we are not getting a new cast next week anymore.  We'll give him some more time to recuperate.  We're also going to quarantine our family a bit.  The dr says his immune system is really weak, due to all the stuff he's going through, and the myopathy may just make him weaker still, and that we need to keep him away from large groups of people.  So we're still sending Tyler and Emalyn to school, and Krysta to preschool, but Russell will not be going anywhere (thank goodness Tyler is such a great babysitter!!!) other than sacrament meeting.  So I'm not helping out at the school anymore and I'm doing my best to cut out some of our activities, just until flu season is over.  Then I think we can resume normal life.  I'm not going to be frantic about this, I'm just going to cut out what we can and not worry about what we can't.
Thank you all for your support.  I think it's amazing how we can reach out to eachother through social media, and feel so much love in return.  This would be so much harder without everyone who reads and responds, both here and in email or phone.
