Hell, what a day...


...I haven't slept in 24 hours! Triston is sick...very sick.

yesterday afternoon when he woke up from his nap he felt a bit warm, so I took his temperature and it was a bit high. I put him in a luke warm bath and let him play for a while. After a hour I took his temp again it dropped a bit but still was not normal. I kept a close eye on him for the rest of the day, he was a bit cranky but nothing more.

We put him to bed at his normal time and he slept with out a problem till about 11. THEN he woke up with a bang and a temp that was wayyyyy to high. I called the hospital who told me to give him a suppository and if his temp doesn't drop in an hour to take him to the emergency room.

Luckily it did drop some, but yet again still not back to normal. and for the rest of the night he slept for 45min segments!!!

I start work before the crack of dawn! Literally, I have to get up very early to be at work by 6 am. Soooooo, hell what a day, with all the public holidays coming up were swamped at work and I have to really keep my head to make sure no mistakes slip in... a very difficult task when you start seeing double out of pure fatigue!

And yet here a am wide awake and not able to fall asleep! While Triston is far away in la-la land...life is so unfair!

Hope you all are feeling better. We've got some kind of nasty bug going around over here in the U.S. right now also.
