The Time Suck of Sick
Day that Nate's fever started: Saturday.
Day it is now: Friday.
Days Nate has gone to school this week: zero.
(Fever stopped Thursday AM but they have to be fever free for 24 hours to go to school.)
Number of trips to After Hours Clinic: 1.
Number of phone calls to pedi: 3.
Doses of alternating Tylenol and motrin: way too many.
Movies watched: way too many. I want to throw the TV out the window.
Hours spent sleeping upright in a chair with a hot and sweaty toddler: way too many.
Hours I went to work at my actual office this week: (embarrassingly) 6. My boss is amazing. Also, I am very behind.
Rooms in my house cleaned: zero (unless you count the thousands of germ-eradicating swipes of door knobs and remotes).
Grocery store trips: zero. Looks like we are eating out all weekend!!
Final diagnosis: something viral, not the flu.... Nobody knows! Fever virus!
Total time suck: one week. What did I miss?!?

ugh. poor hills fam. :( wanna come over tomorrow and drink wine with me? it'll cheer you up for sure. :) xo
sucks....Nash had something similar a couple of weeks ago. Dr. said she thought it was RSV or flu but turned out to be an upper respiratory thing. No fun..At least it will be a pretty weekend to get out of the house.
The ER @ the hospital I work at has had tons of "viral" infection dx's but haven't seen as much flu or rsv in a month or two. Hope you guys feel better soon!
