Well my friends.....right now our family should be boarding an airplane to spend the week in Florida. The plane tickets were purchased....the condo was rented....the rental car was waiting....and the suitcases were packed and sitting by the door. All of us were beside ourselves with excitement.
Then yesterday our little girl started acting like she didn't feel 100%.
Just to be pro-active I thought I better run her into the doctor since we would be boarding a plane in less than 24 hours....
As the doctor checked her out she looked at me cautiously over her stethoscope.
"How long is your vacation for?"
"7 Days"
Pause.
"I am pretty sure Eva has the flu...and chances are it is the Swine Flu....I think you should consider cancelling your vacation."
Soooo, after a lot of thought and consideration Matt and I unpacked the suitcases, called the rental companies, and cancelled our airline tickets....
And instead of basking in the warmth of the sun we will bask in the knowledge that our little girl is comfy and cozy snuggled up in her own bed....and getting better.
And in the end that is all that really matters.
