Just catching up...

This was quite the week.

N was home sick with the stomach flu Tuesday the 31st. We made sure E1 and E2 stayed far away as we didn't want either of them to get sick as they both had their state competitions the weekend of the fourth.
Darren and I took the day off Friday and spent a relaxing day heading to Provo with N and E3. We did a little shopping, enjoyed pizza, swam in the hotel pool, etc. We went Friday night and watched Emily and her relay friends set a new school record in the medley relay. They did awesome. I can't remember what place they scored now.... the fact they even qualified for State is awesome. Only the top 16 teams in the entire state can swim.

Our plan for Saturday was to get in a final swim at the pool then go watch E2 at her drill competition. Darren and I were prepared with our "Azurette Dad" and "Azurette Mom" T-Shirts (and I had my cute new red Toms to wear). I would drop off D later in the day to watch E1 swim while I finished up the drill competition. As soon as E2 finished her final dance I would race to the pool to catch E1's last few events (changing to our swim shirts in between).

Well....
While E1 and E2 didn't end up sick, E3 did.
Saturday morning she woke up sick. She threw up and threw up and threw up. We stayed at the hotel until almost 1:00 as she was still so sick. It was really sad. She was really pale and shaky. Finally we HAD to leave and when we were walking to the car, she was so weak she completely blacked out, hitting her head on a picture frame in the hotel hallway as she fell. It was quite scary. We debated taking her to the emergency room but finally decided to pump her full of water and just get her home.

Leaving the others in the truck, I went into the drill competition to try and find E2 and help her with her hair. I couldn't find her and was feeling hysterical when my angel friend Tammy R came around the corner and saw me. She said she would take care of E2 and help her out. And she is the type of person that is always helping people and when she says she will do it, she means it. I felt so bad missing E2 perform. I was in tears with all the worry of getting E3 home and missing both E1 and E2 compete. I was sad to miss E1's final races of her high school career.

I dropped of D at the BYU pool where Grandma and Grandpa T where timing for the meet and then headed south. We made it home okay and spent a quiet evening at home waiting for news about the girls. E2's team took third place at State. She was quite upset that E3 was sick and while she understood why no one was there to watch her, she was still sad. E1 set four new school records. She got her best times in all her events. She medaled when she won a fourth place in the 100 breast stroke. She was .01 of a second away from third and .5 away from second. It was a good way to end her successful High School swimming days.

So there you have it... what a week..... glad THAT one is over with.
