Yesterday evening, Allen and I noticed that Will had a runny nose and a little bit of a cough. By this morning, he was in coughing fits. We took him out to get some new pj's this morning and then stopped by the grocery store. Right now, he's taking a nap and we're really hoping that he'll feel better soon.
I told Mom that it wouldn't bother me if she wanted to stay in a hotel tonight instead of here, to get away from the germs. She'd rather stay here and is wearing a mask and limiting contact to try and reduce the chance of her getting sick. It's a little iffy since the hefty dose of chemo she had really reduces immunity and Mom isn't really supposed to be around sick people.
We are hoping that Mom will stay healthy because the next few days of this process depend on that. Marilyn is flying in tomorrow night and then Monday morning they are driving to Duke. Mom has to be healthy to go into the bone marrow transplant clinic and proceed with the apheresis, so pray that she stays that way!
In other news, my friend Amber had her baby last night. Welcome to the word little one!
I hope Will gets to feeling better. Evan had the runny nose thing for about 48 hours a few days ago. We gave him echinecea and it cleared right up. We didn't want him to be sick with a new baby in the house.
ReplyDeleteI can't give Will echinacea because I'm allergic to it (how crazy is that?). We do give him wheat germ, emergen-c and stuff like that, though. It's been a while since he has been this sick and I don't think it's going to clear up in a day like normal, but I'd love to be wrong. He is definitely enjoying his new jammies. They have a great deal at Target right now: clearance sets are 2 for 7.50. Love it! He got eight new pairs. Lucky kiddo. :-)
