Spent the afternoon all cozied up under my bathrobe in the comfy chair, with Pugs on my lap. Part of the reason I put the robe on top of me was to invite the puppies to crawl up there...not that they needed any encouragement. Least one was beside me on the sofa with her bed pillow and comforter. She's hanging onto a 100 or so temperature, so I'm dosing her with acetaminophen, echinacea and cold drinks. Looking forward to her looking better tomorrow. Her eyes are droopy---you know what I mean---and I miss her perkiness. Still, it's good for both of us to sit still for hours at a time and rest.
Not sure why I'm talking about all of this, but figure hearing what we're doing helps other women who have sick little ones. I worry when fevers linger, but realize in my heart that it's just her body's way of fighting this nonsense. You'd think that with over 20 years of mothering under my belt I'd be used to it, wouldn't you?
::sigh::
Since the first of November, we've had few lengthy periods of wellness. I think we're due, yes? I know my immune system is shot to pieces, but sure don't like this hamster's wheel of illness that's taken hold. Maybe we're soon to be out of it. Sure hope so.
