Today we are kind of in a holding pattern.
Paul had a really miserable night. He cried off and on all night. When I would ask him what was wrong he would just say that he didn't feel well. He didn't have a very high fever and he had stopped throwing up, so I just sat with him and tried to make him feel better. He slept in and when he woke up started crying again. I decided that if he didn't stop by late morning I would take him back in to the doc. I think he just feels lousy. I got him up and dressed and now he is watching Looney Toons. I have put most of school on hold because John woke up with a 103 fever and Brendan is coughing and has a headache.
I feel kind of yucky but I think it may just be from the total lack of sleep! I am trying to get all the laundry and cleaning caught up so that if I do get sick, I don't have much to do. Of course the dryer is on the verge of dying completely and of course we have more laundry right now than ever.
Oh well, in the scheme of things I guess it's really not a big deal. Just have to be sure we have lots of 7-up and Tylenol in the house.
Paul ate a little last night, but I am really trying to keep it as much of a BRAT diet as possible because he is having stomach pain.
So the boys are going to have a great education this week! They all know what a normal temp is, how you get the flu, all about hydration, and treatment of common flu symptoms. Pretty good health class I'd say. Now if I get sick they'll have the chance to apply it!
I really hope Tim can fly home tonight. I am actually doing OK with the physical aspects of all of this but I really need the moral support and a good hug!
So, I guess if I don't post anything in the next couple of days, there will be a good reason.
I am not having a lot of luck with Dante these days but I'm hoping that I'm going to get to it this afternoon. I don't know, meditating on hell is just a little more than I'm up for right now.
