Thank You

Hi friends,

Thank you all, from the bottom of my heart, for all the well-wishes, comments, tweets, texts, emails and phone calls. I feel surrounded by your love and support.

I am home now, kissing and holding my little ones, feeling so thankful things didn’t turn out worse then they did. I’m hoping once I’m recovered I can just forget about this whole experience! Not fun. I will say this though – Please, please, please check and see that you are up to date on your Tdap vaccination. I thought I was close to current, so didn’t worry about it when I was scraped by a rusty fence recently. Take my word for it that you never want to experience Tetanus, and of course we want to protect little ones from Pertussis, which is also covered by the vaccination.

I’ve got a back log of projects I haven’t posted about yet that I’ll be sharing next week while I’m recovering, so please come back Monday for regularly scheduled posting.

Thank you again. Big hugs to you all.
xoxo

  1. So glad you're doing better! I kept rechecking the site to see if there was another update, and here you are now :) I bet your girls are falling over themselves trying to help take care of you!

  2. Jenny, I'm so happy you are safely back with your family. Thank you for sharing your experience and encouraging others to get vaccinated. It is SO very important for adults and especially little ones. Rest up!

  3. Yay! I've been checking the site constantly! You are such an inspiration to so many of us. Glad to hear you are home!

  4. I'm glad you are home safe and sound! I will definitely be checking on my currency and adding that to my yearly physical!

  5. I know Pertussis is the vaccine everyone is talking about these days, but when I reviewed the components of the DTAP combo for my kids it was Tetnus that sounded the worst to me. So glad you are recovering nicely.

  6. I got my DTap booster when my little guy had his first shots. My GP said that the benefit of doing it that way is that I will know to get a booster with each decade Ashe gets older – easy milestones to remember!

    You are so unlucky to have gotten tetanus, but so lucky too because it could have been so much worse!

    Vaccines are important and really can and do save lives.

  7. Love your blog. So so so glad to hear you are feeling better. And remember that it's a germ in dirt, not rust [http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/000615.htm] that causes tetanus, so get everyone get your vaccine!

  8. Jenny-
    Excellent news that you are home. Take it easy and take your time getting back to all you have to do.
    Our son had a scary thing happen in 10th grade, a staph infection….it was a long road to get him back but we shall never forget how grateful we are to have him healthy and living a great life.
    When you have your health, you have your wealth.
    Keep the faith – you are in my thoughts and prayers.

  9. Happy to see you're home and have the energy to say hello… take the time you need to recover and we'll all be here patiently awaiting your return!

  10. I was really worried. Happy to hear you are back home and I hope you will not rush back into work. Everyone will still be here!

  11. SO so glad you are okay!! I was recently helping a friend paint at her new house and while I was layed out on the yet-to-be finished floors I ended up with a rusty old staple in my leg OUCH. She INSISTED that I get a tetnus booster (she and her husband had gotten them days earlier for similar reasons)- they had a close friend who had passed away as a result of contracting tetnus while over seas- SO SCARY.
    Lesson- GET A BOOSTER
    So glad you are okay!!

  12. So happy to hear that you're home! I haven't been a follower for very long, but just wanted you to know that I've been praying for you.

  13. Hi Jenny,

    So glad you are home and feeling better! I think I'm going to check with my Dr. asap and see where I'm at on this vaccination. Also just want to say that I really enjoy your blog. In fact it's one of the blogs I've been reading recently that inspired me to revive my blog kstyle. Such wonderful consistent original content which is what brings me back everyday. Get better soon

  14. My goodness. I just saw these two posts about your illness. I'm so glad you're home and recovering. How scary! Best wishes for quick healing.

  15. So glad that you are doing better!!!!! I have no idea whether I am current but I am going to check! Get some rest :)

  16. What a scary time you and your loved ones must have had. Wishing you a speedy recovery. Be sure to take all the time you need to convalesce.

  17. Thanking God with you and your family for your health now. Thanks for the update and for the good advice although I thought most docs would say to get a booster if one gets a cut? Please be careful and get all the rest you need….
