Baby it's hot out there!

This weekend we had it all planned -- Sweetie was going to leave Friday morning for a 3-day motorcycle event. I was going to sew.

Friday I did some errands but started sewing Sat morning. Around 3 pm got a call -- Sweetie was on his way to hospital. Sick. News trickled in -- it was the heat. He was brought home, after 5 hours in the ER an hour's drive west of here, by some friends who went above and beyond. I could not focus on sewing, of course, so my weekend of sewing ended up being just a couple of hours -- after that I was walking the floor!

Heat exhaustion can kill you -- fortunately, he realized the extent of his problem early on and asked to be taken to the hospital. Once he started throwing up (a symptom) he had no chance of re-hydrating himself. His body temp stayed high even when he was standing in a cold shower.

Praise God, he is home and doing much better!! The quilt can be made another day.
