Bounching Back

I'm feeling SO much better after almost a week of being under the oppressive hold of a cold. I'm still a little stuffy, but now actually feel human without having to rely of medications. Of course this is made all the sweeter in seeing that Jacob too has made a rebound over the last 24 hours. He still has a little bit of a couch, but is back to breathing pretty well and as a result taking his pre-cold amounts of milk.

I have to say, it really was a scary experience having a sick kid. Especially something respiratory. I got next to no sleep worrying that he was going asphyxiate on his secretions. All now seems well, and so we can get back into our happy little groove.

House guests are an interesting addition to the mix at any time, but I found it a totally different ball game when I was feeling like shit. Having to at least appear up-beat and interested was not so easy when it was taking all my energy to talk to other people at all. It can't have been easy for my Mother-in-Law dealing with me in a mono-syllablistic state. Lord knows that I didn't enjoy me, either.

Upward and onward, and let's put it all behind us...
