Jul 3Woke up with a fever. A hot one. My head was pounding, my lungs were kind of burning....I had a slight cough. My first thought was "God, please protect my son from this sickness"....my next thought was about what a jerk my boss was for coming to work sick.....
It didn't get better as the day went on. The highest point, it was 102.8 and my head was totally throbbing. I still had to pull it together to care for Martyn...Eli's brother Robin, and his wife Miriam, and Miriam's mom who was in town visiting, were supposed to stop by in the late morning on their way up the Gorge for Walt's big fourth of July party.....They ended up calling it off because they got a late start, and I was actually really glad. I was in no presenting state, ha! And, I thought I might feel better enough to come up on Monday so I would still get to see them.
I did get the nifty food mesh bag out, and let Martyn have his very first taste of bananas... He loved it! He was so funny, he would chew on the mesh for a bit, then take it away from his mouth and just yell at it, and kick his little feet, then cram it back into his mouth. I think yelling seems to be his favorite method of expressing excitement right now.....oh boy what I'm in for with him as a two year old.....haa!
By the time Eli got home, I was feeling a hot mess. I think part of the reason it was kicking my butt so bad is because I'm still nursing Martyn. But having a hard time eating enough to sustain myself, let alone the amount of calories it takes to just keep up with producing breast milk. Eli and I looked up on the Internet what the recommended time frame for going to the hospital is, when one has a fever. It's if the fever is higher than 104, or if you've had a fever for 5 days or more. Today is third day. Hopefully it will clear up tomorrow....I'd really rather not have to go the the doctor.
Martyn is still ok.
