Acceptance

If I didn't feel so awful right now, this would kind of make me laugh. I am sick again with mom not to far behind. We have come to the conclusion that we will never, ever, ever again feel good and we are coming to terms with it. Mom and I spent most of last night coughing. If one was sleeping, the other was coughing. All told, we got about an hours worth of sleep last night. We dragged ourselves to school/work this morning. An hour later, Ms. Barbara calls mom and tells her to come pick me up. When mom arrived, I was about the most pathetic thing she has ever seen. I was half asleep with my head down on the picnic table outside.

We got home, she loaded me up with medicine and I slept (very fitfully) for 3 hours. I perked up bit when dad got home and managed to eat some dinner and play for a bit but then we discovered my 102 degree fever. Oh, and lets not forget the Amoxicillan rash I developed last night. Relatively common according to the pediatrician. I'm an absolute mess and mom is getting really &^%$# off that we can't get healthy. We just can't get it going- mom's theory is that the Swine Flu shot we all got in December is messing with our immune systems because we are NEVER sick like this.

The week started out fairly nicely. Dad had to go to Washington D.C. for business early Monday morning so mom and I were on our own. The weather was beautiful so mom broke out my t-ball when we got home from school. I got a little work to do on my form but I made really good contact with the ball- more than once.

The best part of the evening was the French Toast and sausage mom made me for dinner. I think that is about the best dinner ever.

On Tuesday, my illness hadn't hit yet, so mom and I went for a bike ride. Well, I rode and she ran after me. It was great fun until I started coughing at 5. It has been downhill ever since. Dad got a late flight back from D.C. and got in around midnight to find mom and I in our hacking up a lung state. He almost turned around and got back on the plane.

So it looks like yet another day off work/school for me and mom tomorrow. Goody. At least the weather will be nice.
