skrtrnr - 2009-10-13 7:51 AM morning GHOULIES.

trying to stay calm. 

woke up this morning to my son's ever higher fever

102.4 this time (its been running at 100.4ish)

cough.  sore throat.  body aches.  heaviness in his chest.

theres been a confirmed case of H5N1 in our school district (not in his bldg, the bldg my oder son is in)

what has me the most concerned is that M., hes a bit 'compromised'

he has a residual congential heart defect, a second one that required open heart surgery a few years back.

mommy is on alert now....

heading to the Pediatrician as soon as i can get him seen, maybe even Childrens Hosp if necessary.

ill chk back later and let you know.

being a sick kid sucks.

being a worried mom sucks.

Healing thoughts on the way!!!

The only thing that jumps out at me is the wide range of Recovery.  To me that upper number is pushing into Zone 3 work and Recovery is supposed to be only Zone 1 & Zone 2.

Other than that it looks good.

Wow.  Does it seem early this year to you?  We never have snow before Halloween and with how cold it is out there I would not be surprised!

skrtrnr - 2009-10-13 7:00 AM thanks for all the GHOULISH WELL WISHES 

back from the Docs.  no trip to the hospital necessary.  woosh.   they way my son was talking/sounding this morning i was thinking pneumonia.

but, thankfully his lungs sounded clear, that it was more post-nasal drip than anything else causing his coughing.

Doc said its definately viral. 

we just wait it out, if his symptoms worsen or the fever gets higher or lasts longer than 5 days, we should come back in for a re-check.

my youngest seems OK after his dose of ibuprofen.

so i guess thats it.  hospital visit/stay avoided.  YAY!

its a TV/Movie watching laying the couch drinking Gatorade eating popsicles sipping chicken broth kinda of day.


and im SO gonna be NEEDING  a run when DH gets home.

either a 5 miler or 45 min tempo.  we'll see what im up for.


caring for the kids, but staying healthy is myself is a priority, then fitting in my run wrkouts, whatever else i can manage to fit in is a bonus.  not gonna stress.  lots of rest.  fluids.  handwashing.


im sure ill be back here when im goin stir crazy.  :}
