Well unfortunately its a bit too late for him not to bother us but I SURELY wish he would go away. We have had a string of events here that I do not wish to re-create ending in this flu that Lillian and I are not enjoying....though I am enjoying all the time with Lillian.
Last week monday we had memorial for Grandpa Keith who passed away due to heart attack & stroke with subsequent complications at only 60 years of age. Sharon, our daycare provider, is only 59 and its so young to loose your spouse. They are such a sweet, caring, kind & loving couple. They are so simple and honest and they just love kids. All of their daycare kids call them grandma and grandpa and Lillian has been seeing them every week day for as long as she can remember (since she was 10 months old in fact). She of course doesnt understand that he's actually gone and asks alot of questions, many of them heartwarming. I initially didnt know how to explain a stroke and since it resulted in him getting in a car accident I told Lillian he had an accident and explained that instead but now I am worried that I shouldnt have explained that because she asks about car accidents alot while we are driving.
I wasn't feeling well tue&wed and then thursday we had the devastating news at our 8 week ultrasound that the baby no longer had a heart beat and wasnt any bigger than at the 6 week ultrasound. I was planning on which OB I should be released to and instead ended up calling to schedule a D&C. Friday the OB that did the D&C came in sick and you guessed it that, I believe, led to me and Lillian getting ill.
Lillian I thought felt a tad warm on saturday and that night she woke up and clearly had a fever. She is eating and drinking ok though not eating alot. She has had a bit of diarhea but no vomiting. Overall its just a fever and the aches & chills. Tuesday I had doctor appointments as well so Jared took her to the doctor, I told them she had been running fever of 102 and a wet/deep cough. They told Jared she was behind on a shot that there was a national shortage on and they just got more H1N1 vaccines in and told Jared they should vaccinate. Of course since they said it was best he did it and now, two days later and she is worse not better--go figure. She has been running a fever of up to 103.5 now which has me worried. I did not give her any tylenol today hoping the fever will terminate itself. Since its against their policy to vaccinate I am very angry they woudl do that when she had been feverish for so long.
I am not bad some nausea/headache and low grade fevers which for me is 99.5 since I run 97 normally. The pulomologist today started me on tamiflu and levaquin a heavy duty antibiotic since often viral issues will end up letting the bugs in my lungs go awry. Happily though my lung functions were still at 100%
I have been enjoying the extra time with Lillian and her letting me and actually wanting to cuddle, she is normally such a busy body.
