another day another lifetime

Took 2 of my children to the dr's today. Talk about a blast....NOT. Turns out that my daughter and oldest son have upper respitory infections. Of course they will be fine, but it is hard to hear my daughter coughing so hard it sounds like she is trying to hack up a lung. My middle son is mad at me because I had said I would take them all to the indoor pool today. Didn't happen of course but he blames me for bub and sis being ill.
I still haven't heard anything more from my hubby concerning his hearing loss. I had talked to the read detachment they said that if my husband can't hear he should be on light duty, but he hasn't contacted me. I know he is busy doing his job. I am used to not hearing from him for 3 to 4 weeks at a time when he is ok. I was hoping the military would at least keep him close enough to instant message me even if all it said was "I'm ok". His being injured even in a small way has made it hard to not think about the danger he is in every second of every day. My husband's company has lost at least 6 guys sence they left in oct. of last year, they have had numerous injuries. Up until now I have felt the pain of the other families and been able to shut it away. With Jeff getting hurt I can't just make it go away anymore.
