I think it’s gone!!!
And honestly, I couldn’t be happier. Drew’s fever seems to have finally broke. He had one during the night, felt a bit warm this morning, but now, he’s running around, playing, babbling, and getting in trouble, just like he should. It is such a relief. I was about in tears on Friday. He just cried, and cried, and cried. I was tired (really, exhausted) and just about at my breaking point. Fortunately, just when I was about to lose it, Dale walks in the house. Drew immediately walked over to him and stopped crying. Honestly, it was just the break I needed.
(I did take him to the doctor, though I knew what they would tell me. I was right. It’s some wonderful upper respitory virus. Fever, runny nose, congestion. No coughing, ears look great, breathing is fine, urine isn’t foul smelling. At least I knew for sure it wasn’t his ears.)
And, the sickness took away working time!! I had (wait, still have) work that needs to be done by Monday. I could have worked on it Thursday while the kids should have been in daycare. But since Drew was still sick, he couldn’t go. Friday my parents were supposed to watch Drew so I could do the work. Instead, my dad met with his employer to tell them that he was going to retire. So, that was shot. That means I get to spend my weekend time (MY time, my FAMILY time) doing this work. Ugh…
So far, Sophia has avoided the sickness, as have Ron and I. *knocks on wood* It would suck to get what he had. I washed all our sheets (including the parents) since Drew slept with me the last few nights. I washed them in the Sanitary cycle to be sure all the bugs were killed!
DH and I are hoping the kids go to bed at a reasonable time tonight. We went to the liquor store and got some adult-type drinks. We’d love to sit on the porch, drink in hand, spending time alone together. It’s been a long time since we’ve done this. (And a really long time since I’ve drank! I think probably about 2 years!!) I’m trying not to get my hopes up, as the kids rarely go to bed at a reasonable time together. (One will, the other won’t. They take turns!)
Enjoy the rest of your weekend, everyone!!
