The Sun Will Come Out Tomorrow

I'm hoping the sun will come out very soon. Well, if not the sun, maybe the black cloud of sickness that's been hanging over our heads the last little while, maybe it will blow away for good. I'm still feeling a little overwhelmed right now, I haven't had the time or the energy to do any posting or to even check out others' blogs.

We're slowly seeing some relief. M. is feeling better. Though he did have another episode of double vision on Saturday. It was while he was coaching at GirlChild's swim meet. His head was really pounding and his sinus infection was really acting up. But he just called a few minutes ago, he had a doctor's appointment and his eyes have checked out fine. So his doctor believes the vision problems were due to the sinus infection. But, guess what, just so we don't let things go too easy for M., he broke his baby toe this morning. He was running around and trying to get to the ringing phone, when BAM! He hit his toe against a chair really hard. Ouch!

BoyChild appeared to be feeling much better last night. But he did have a rash on his back yesterday afternoon. I thought it was probably an allergic reaction to a new laundry detergent I had used. So we changed his clothes, gave him some Benadryl, put him in the bath and he seemed to feel better. Well, he woke up this morning and the rash on his back was gone but now it was on his face. M. had to take more time off from work today(at last count, he missed about four days of work last week) because he was sick with his sinus infection. And he had hoped to get to the office yesterday, but we wanted BoyChild to have one more day at home to make sure he was feeling better and not have a relapse, so being the super Dad he is, he stayed home with BoyChild.

I had thought my important meeting was today, turns out it is tomorrow. Arrrgh! So I rushed through the morning today, got some crucial work done and then came home so M. could get to the office.

I took BoyChild to the pediatrician. We thought he might have chicken pox. We waited for over an hour and it turns out he does not have chicken pox but BoyChild has a viral infection(maybe strep throat) I asked his pediatrician whether we should cancel our travel plans. She said "no don't cancel, he's probably going to be better by Thursday/Friday " Sigh, I kind of wish she had said we should cancel. I'm not sure if I feel good about travelling with BoyChild, but as the doctor said, he should be feeling better by Thursday.

And, the hospital called just a little while ago, GirlChild's CT Scan is scheduled next Tuesday afternoon. She's still having headaches but her pediatrician spoke to me today about the scan and said it was just a precautionary measure, she really didn't think anything was seriously wrong with GirlChild.

So, it looks like we'll be heading down to North Carolina early Thursday morning. I'm hoping that BoyChild will be better by then, fingers crossed. And I'm going to keep thinking good thoughts that everyone else will also be better soon. I'm hoping the time away will be nice and we can have fun at the wedding and have a great visit with all our Southern relatives. Fingers crossed.
