Days of illness

ByJay

My daughter appeared unwell after getting off the kindergarten bus on thursday. A fellow passenger informed me she vomited several times on the ride home. She seemed tired and withdrawn. She rested the following days and enjoyed Saturday.

I thought she was recovering, but Saturday night she vomited repeatedly, every 30 minutes, throughout the night. She would wake, vomit (gastric juice after midnight), then fall back asleep. While she appeared well during the day, her nighttime sleep was very difficult.  I would be asleep when she would suddenly wake and vomit.

It felt like we were in different time zones. I struggled to wake up and care for her, but she would often fall back asleep before I could fully assist. This pattern repeated all night. I could hear her distress, but I felt too tired to respond effectively.  Perhaps I caught a cold or overexerted myself during our family outing. I hope for a restful night’s sleep tonight.

The office…

Required childhood immunizations necessitate a clinic visit.  Furthermore, the family requires a medical examination, and I require intravenous therapy.  Persistent pharyngitis, characterized by cough and expectoration, has persisted since December.  Consequently, an early departure is required. Unfortunately, my preferred clinic does not accept appointment. Following an immediate post-alarm departure, a 15-minute walk led to the…

Falling off an indoor bike

My kids like to play with a toy bicycle and car. They stand on the toys, moving like circus performers. It looks dangerous, but I hope a thick mat prevents injury.  Also, the toy bicycle’s and car’s wheels do not move smoothly on the mats. The mats cover more than half the home to reduce…
