I may have to have Tony bring the glass bottles. I don't want her dad to get sick with what we have, and Tony has a good immune system and has already had it and gotten better within a 24 hour period. Hopefully this is just a cold and not the dreaded flu. Yuck! Here's to feeling better!
Tony helped get the bottles out of the garage and into the car, but my friend wasn't able to meet up today. Her Dad isn't feeling well and needs some rest. Understandable considering his health condition. I'm hoping we can figure out a time that will work tomorrow. Not that I'm in a huge rush anyway. Today I woke up with a sore throat and sinus congestion. My face hurts... Again. I wonder if all the stress of this past week was the kick my immune system needed to shut down on me. Tomorrow we will pick up some sudafed and hopefully I will feel better soon. This evening, little #5 fell asleep before dinner. He's been playing hard outside and getting up earlier than normal so we figured he was just tired. When he woke up several hours after dinner, he didn't ask for food. Instead he climbed into my lap, told me it was too bright out there and too dark in his room. Tony turned off a light in the living room, and I cuddled with him as he fell back asleep in my arms but he's got a fever, and clearly isn't feeling well. When he gets sluggish and feverish I tend to panic more than I should. He came incredibly close to dying from the flu when he was about six weeks old. He had to be transferred via ambulance in the middle of the night from one hospital to another when they told me he would likely need to be placed on life support as his organs shut down... What an absolutely horrifying thing to tell a parent! He didn't need life support, his organs didn't shut down, but he was in the hospital for a while with IV and oral medications multiple times per day. Since then I have considered every day with him a blessing. When he gets sick, my mind goes back to that very dark place as I sobbed uncontrollably for the entire ambulance ride not knowing if he would live or die. Worry wart, yes I am. But we will be picking up more children's Tylenol tomorrow too. He and I can lay together and commiserate and rest to feel better.
