WE INTERRUPT THIS BLOG...

Sunday night Little C threw up all over the carpet. I spent a good 30 minutes scrubbing (and there is still a stain). I thought at the time it was because he'd eaten too much candy, but apparently it was the stomach flu, because A and I also caught it. I am FINALLY feeling better. Hope you guys don't get it!

Now, back to our regularly scheduled blog posts...

TIME WELL SPENT

My 16 year old son has been sick for about 3 weeks now (off and on). Yesterday, when he had to miss his 2nd day of school already this year and couldn't keep anything down, I finally took him to the doctor. He has labyrinthitis (an infection in his inner ear that causes him extreme dizziness and makes him sick to his stomach).

He was so dehydrated that they put him on an IV and for 2 hours we sat and waited for it to be done.

It was worth it though, because afterwards, he ate lunch and has felt better ever since. Hallelujah for doctors! Now he and I are both on antibiotics for our sinus infections, so hopefully we are on the mend.

SICK OF BEING SICK

Yes, I am going to whine. I am going on my 4th day without a voice and it is really getting old. I have a bad head cold and for some reason it has wiped out my ability to speak. It usually happens once a year, but this has just gone on too long. Hope I get it back in time for class tomorrow, otherwise my students are going to just have to suck it up. I'm not canceling again!
