It is a sunny Monday and I am not sick. Knock on wood. Yesterday I wasn’t sure if I would be sending F to the hospital, but she is getting better.
She still has to stay in one room and we are lysoling everything until she is finished taking the tami.flu pills and should no longer be contagious. She doesn’t actually move anyway, so that is easy. I managed to get two sick days off work so I can basically nap and take care of junior, me and her.
My heart has stopped pounding in fear that I will get sick and she will be in the hospital. It is a surreal experience having her so sick and taking care of her while wondering how junior and I will make it through if I get sick. The past few days are so similiar to when I did the IVF transfer and she got really sick. I was on bed rest and she was in a separate room with the flu. I was so scared of getting sick and having the cycle be a bust.
F has promised me to get the flu shot for the next three years. She got the flu before the shot was available this year, but her immune system basically thinks it’s party time every time a bug comes around and joins right in instead of fighting them off.
Now you know what those contemplating single motherhood think about on a magnified level.Having a real support system in place is a must just in case.And with kids it’s always most important.
Thank goodness you both didn’t come down with it. Isn’t there some type of air purifier you can by for inside that cleans the air. I saw one in the waiting area of a doctors office.Not sure air purifier is the right term.
Oh I hope you don’t get sick! Take care of yourself… drink extra orange juice! If you don’t get in soon you may have gotten lucky!
Excellent news that you are staying healthy so far. Vitamin C drops and Lysol are your friends. I agree that the entire household should get flu shots.
glad to hear you are staying healthy – no easy task, im sure. hope F feels better soon.
So glad you are still okay. Hang in there and take good care of yourself.
Glad to hear that F is starting to feel better, and also very glad you’ve managed to avoid it thus far – hope it lasts and you keep healthy. Take care!
You just take care of yourself….just a few weeks to stay flu-free!
