Semper Gumby

With my son's flu and doctor recommending a quarantine so as to not spread it, I envisioned spending today cleaning the house. We've just been so busy with life, it needs a thorough going over or, at the least, some clean floors.

Rough night with the flu though. Almost took my son to the ER. He was making no sense at all and was seeing things. That worried me but we got his fever down to 102 so I just kept a close eye on him. Not a lot of sleep here.

Ended up really sleeping from about 7am to 10am and just felt groggy. Not much got accomplished other than to take care of the boy and go online for a bit.
Finally, about an hour or so ago, got a bit of motivation. Getting a little bit of cleaning done. Might need a nap though.

Thankfully, the boy is doing a lot better. His throat is really raw and he doesn't so look too good but fever is down to 100 and got some broth in him. He's set up his laptop to watch movies in his room. Yesterday, he was too ill to even watch anything. So thankful for Tamiflu. Learned a few years ago to get right in. I developed the flu but didn't go in until my daughter got it a few days later. Took her right in. They put her on Tamiiflu. She was so much better in just a couple days whereas they said it was too late for me to start and I went through a miserable week.

So, haven't gotten as much done as I'd hoped today but do enjoy 'momming' my boy and taking care of him. He's sixteen now so not much time left to take care of him. That's more important than a clean house so Semper Gumby, right?
