Just a quick note to say hi to everyone. Unfortunately, if it's
not one thing it's another. My baby is getting over this new strain of
the flu. It has hit pretty hard in the Memphis, TN area. And it's been
mostly small children.
He's so young that it's not a
whole lot of medication that he can take so he's just been soldiering
through. I've rubbed him down and slathering him up with whatever I
could but he's been sick since the first part of the month. Although he
hasn't had any fever lately and he has been oked to go back to daycare,
he is still congested and coughing, and not 100%.
And
in the mist of already feeling horrible, he just cut his first tooth!
WTF you said!? Same thing I said when the dr told me what was going
on. He has been gnawing on yours an his fingers for over a month now. He has even managed to get his toes in his mouth. He is not even five months old yet and his tooth has broken through
the gum. Slobbing, gnawing, pooping, and crying galore.
So
yeah, it's been chaos around my house and not a lot of time for
reading. And since he has been using me for his snot rag, I've caught
the end of his sickness. I took my flu shot back in October so I
didn't get the flu, but I still got sick. As close as I was to all the
coughing and sneezing and in my face, I knew I was bound to come down
with something. I'm a little better, probably at 70% but I'm bouncing
back.
My oldest son also took the flu shot and he's been
a snot rag too but he has not come down with anything yet. Hopefully
it will miss him and we will feel better soon.
