All the travel we did in recent weeks must've wore Helen down, because once we came home she had a temperature, the chills, a sore throat and generally felt sick.
She drank lots of water, OJ, ate cough drops and took Tylenol, and after a couple of days she started to feel better, much to our relief. The fact that Helen was pregnant added to the normal anxiety over having a cold, since we were worried about the baby, too.
It got me wondering about how Helen's health affects Norby's. At one point I asked Helen- if she was sick, did that mean Norby was, also? She said she didn't think so, and that when she called the nurse to get some guidance they said Norby probably enjoyed all of Helen's coughing and maybe even thought her mommy was playing with her.
Since I'm too lazy and tired to Google it, I was hoping a loyal reader of this blog could answer that question for me. Either one of you.
Oh, I guess you were referring to me. Norby is totally fine :) It's not fun being rotund w/child and sick heavy. Hope she gets better real soon. Oh, you should rub her feet and offer her a glass of vino :) OH, if you haven't already, make sure she gets a flu shot.
ReplyDeleteI knew you wouldn't let me down, Yuni! :)
ReplyDeleteHadn't thought about the flu shot, honestly, since we never get one. But I suppose now is the time to start.
