Ski For Light 2010
This was a CRAZY week! I know I've said that before about SFL, but this week was in fact CRAZY!! Let me put the week in order:
1. Sunday- Registration @ Mineral Palace in Deadwood. SOOOO great to see everyone again!
2. Sunday- during the Wine and Cheese party, Tim texts me about Izzy getting sick (poor thing).
3. Monday AM- Tim stays home with Izzy, I get to Deadwood for guide/participant pairing and equipment checkout. Tim takes Izzy to Dr.
4. Monday PM- Dr. recommends Izzy be admitted to the hospital for dehydration...still not sure what's causing her pain.
5. Monday night to Wednesday morning (almost 48 hours)- in hospital with Izzy...probably the worst 2 days of my life...you feel SO helpless when you can't do anything for your own child! Finally get to head home Wednesday after lunch...turns out she had some rare bacteria in her kidneys, causing a horrible bladder infection. STRONG antibiotics seemed to help after kicking in.
6. Thursday- I head back up to Deadwood...trying to finish out the week. Izzy wanted to return to daycare to "see her friends."
7. Friday- Ski For Light Race day and awards banquet
Like I said...it was a CRAZY week!!
