Still alive
Aug. 26th, 2007 09:08 pmNot dead.
Feel dead.
Updates:
Chesh: Had gastro, slept very badly last night, put his back out today. We're off to the physio tomorrow.
Vinnie: Has eaten and not puked today. Diarrhea every day, not sure if it is the new antibiotics or gastro though. Getting some rash, but I expect from the constant runny poos/nappy rash. Still, going to take him in to get him checked out tomorrow. He puked everything he ate yesterday at about 5:00 all over me. You get that. We're throwing those clothes out. His cough sounds much nastier now. He has been drinking milk, which I think maybe causing his diarrhea, so I am cutting back on that for tomorrow and see if that helps or what the dr says.
Me: Have been upright for more than 20 minutes at a time, and I can focus again. I have even been awake for a number of hours. If I can get a good night's sleep, then I am sure I can cope tomorrow. I lost Friday completely, and most of Saturday. I haven't spent so long in bed without being awake for more than an hour at a time in about six years. I think I have been feverish at night, but I don't have the mental capacity to explain. I have stopped fantasizing about fresh cold water and watermelon. A pity, really. :-) Pikelet is still trying to kick his/her way out. I am terrified of what this means when s/he gets bigger.
Other: Chesh's parents came and mowed our weeds into submission. This was a highly surreal activity that I managed to see some of. They cleaned the back yard and I want to be well so I can go and stand in it and celebrate.
Can I just say thanks to fe2h20 and linstar for providing all the food for Thursday, and also to Chesh for looking after every one for me? I just want to make sure every one is aware that none of the food was prepped by my own household, so no one should get this gastro. I don't know how it is passed, but everything is clean and made by other people.
:-/
Sorry every one.
:-(
I'll post something longer to femmeconne later.
