Flu Attack

The flu has got a real tight hold over the entire household or almost. I returned back to work on October 1st(more about that in another post). I was pretty much OK in the morning. But once I returned, I was so tired that I could barely stand. And by night I was having excruciating pain around the sinuses. Head was throbbing. I had no choice but to go to bed early. And save for the few times I woke up to feed the little guy, I slept for almost 2 hours. This is inspite of the fact that one of our closest friend and his family was at home.

On Friday, we took the little boy to the doctor as he was having temperature on and off and was also suffering from stuffy nose. He is fine now by the grace of God.

Today, it was my turn to visit the doctor in the morning. She has confirmed that I have severe infection and that I need to take a couple of days off from work(yippppeeeee!!!!). I am on antibiotics and a whole lot of other medicines.

By the time we returned, B was getting worse. We were kind of worried when we noticed blood in his phlegm. He was also feeling miserably tired. So at night, it was yet another visit to the clinic - this time for B. He has also been prescribed antibiotics and has also been asked to undergo a few blood tests tomorrow. Apparently, the blood could be because of severe infection or in the worst case, if accompanied by high temperature, could be a sign of pneumonia. To our relief his temperature is normal so far. And B being B, he feels that he should see his regular doctor again tomorrow. He could not see her today as it was late. So thats going to be the fourth visit in a row.

Anyways, I am off work for 2 days and B is also off tomorrow.

Down with the flu

Right from the onset of this weekend, there has been a lot if sniffing and sneezing at home. Started with B coming down with a bad flu. With the H1N1 virus doing its rounds in full swing, we wasted no time and went to the doc. Nothing to worry as this turned out to be a normal but bad viral infection. He was advised to wear mask to avoid spreading the virus as much as possible especially since the baby is around.

No luck though...as soon as he recovered...here I am going through the same symptoms. Went to doc today and started medicines as well as lounging around with the mask full time.

Worst thing though...I have been keeping away from the little boy and not playing with him / carrying him. He is near me only when I am feeding. I miss his tiny body and warmth terribly. He is not sleeping with me tonight either. Thats one reason why I am not too keen on hitting the bed. How can I sleep without him cuddled in my arms? My little baby..u have become such a huge part of my life in so few days. Miss ur drooling kisses my little one. Love you!
