illness has overtaken our house

May 26th 2012

A week ago today, I was feeling pretty dog-gone ill.

Then Sunday, Eithan had a fever.

Then ever since those two days, Eithan and I have been like lumps on the couch.

He would feel a little bit better and get active, and then crash an hour or two later.

I would feel a little bit better and try to clean the house, and then crash an hour or two later.

Today is the first day (so far) that I've felt like myself.

But Eithan is still sick.

He had another fever last night/this morning.

He's still in bed.

And he doesn't want to do anything but sit on the couch and watch TV.

I feel so bad for him!

And there's not really anything we can do except give him Ibuprofen to help with pain.

To top this all off, we're pretty sure he had Hand, Foot and Mouth disease during the week.

If you haven't heard of it, be grateful.

It is not anything pleasant at all.

So, he's been looking like this.

We both have felt like just crawling under the covers and staying there.

{He actually is in there, I found him like this during nap time.}

And I am supposed to be running today!

It didn't happen.

I feel so lame, but as the post says.. illness has overtaken our house.

No worries, though.

We'll make it through this, and I signed up for another run 2 weeks from now.

Now let's hope that a week break from any sort of physical exertion won't have completely ruined all that 8 weeks of training that I just did!
