Bonjour,

We got the kids off for school this morning.  I got a roast in the crockpot.  A couple hours later, I started having severe lower back pain.  Joe was about to take me to the hospital, but we checked with Kristine first.  I knew it was a kidney infection but was just surprised at how fast it came on and how severe the pain was.  Kristine checked her notes and knew what treatment I should take.  So, we just stayed home.  After the pain medicine kicked in, I felt a little better.  I am back to being sick to my stomach.  I may go to the doctor tomorrow.  My blood pressure has been high off and on throughout the day.  I have been in bed most of the day.
Joe helped the kids do their homework tonight.  Danny had four pages and struggled to make it through, but he made it.
A demain,
Joe, Laura, Gilbert, Danny, and Bonnie
