skrtrnr - 2009-10-13 4:51 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.

stacieb

good luck Stacie....if his fever persists...put him in cool tub of water with a tshirt on...this will bring it down long enough to get him to be seen!

keep us posted...

ilucy2 - 2009-10-13 6:16 AM I think I am just about on burnout! I really don't want to do anything....I think I am having a mental depression of running on the dredmill. I am taking Nov off from running, and just cycling.

do you have a path or track you can run on? try and get off the treadmill! I for one dont know how you guys do it! I think the longest I ever ran on one was 30 minutes! how about a running group...that will motivate me sometimes....as long as they are not all speedy gonzalez runners!  dont throw in the towel completely....just back off and have fun with it!

and as for not wanting to do anything today....now come on Lucy...run for the team...I will run in the rain...if you run your treadmill!!! you can do it girl!!!

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.  :}

stacieb

good news Stacie!!!! thanks for the speedy update!!!

have a good run!

Nah, nobody will know remember it wasn't your actual 5,000th post. Once you post again the ticker shows your current post count, not the count when you made that post. KWIM?

stacieb

Stacie, I am so glad to hear that all is Ok. 

Did they decide to test him for H1N1, even given his underlying health problems? Or did his symptoms not quite fit? 

 

Keep washing those hands, and changing those hand towels frequently!

 

Vitamin D, vitamin C, some Airborne, or Emergen-C, fish oil, all that good stuff for you and for them! 

Oh, and don't forget the running! Running is always good! (for you, not them)  

gald you clarified the the her running not the kids! haha

NOOOOOOOOO!

The contractor that is working on our basement just stopped by. Apparently there is an inspection by the city today. I now can't leave until they have come and gone. The catch: they don't know when it is. I called the city, and all they can confirm is the day. They can't even say if it's morning or afternoon. 

AAAARRRRGH! (did I mention this project was started in July and was supposed to be a 3-5 week project. Oh, and the inspection is for electrical, framing, plumbing, and HVAC, and all the drywall is already up and painted? I found a prize contractor, apparently.)

But on the bright side,

Stacie, looks like I'll be keeping you company today.



Boooo!  That sounds worse than waiting for the cable guy

depends on if he (the cable guy) is HOT or not! I can look, ya know!!!

Hey Ghoulies! Happy Tuesday. I was able to get 3.36 miles in this morning, putting me at just under 50% for the month. Great work to everyone so far, and keep it up! Now it's time to shower and grab some lunch at the chow hall. Wonder which mystery meat they've got today...

iowagander - 2009-10-12 5:42 PM Pasta over here. Feeling lazy uninspired Italian tonight.

uninspired is mwah! (mwah = me).

I had a frozen Stouffers Chicken Garlic Alfredo dinner....

made a salad with...leaf/arugula/spring mix/vine riped tomatoes/cucumbers/avocado

and made a feta garlic cheese bread

had a scoop of mocha almond ice cream....

time to run run run today! hoping the rain will let up a little....like to run in the rain...but not shower while Im doing it!

I saw the forecast and thought of you Jules - crazy.  Be careful out there if you head out!

Thanks Bill...

the traffic report was crazy...kinda like it would be for snow in Texas...there were wrecks everywhere...the entire traffic map was shrouded in red color....which means parking lot!!! glad I dont have to commute in it...just have to swim to the post office/bank/store...but have a kayak on the side if need be!

tomorrow is supposed to be glorious again...so, Im hoping I can deal with this downpour of rain!

I will have to dodge falling trees in my run...and hoping to head into the wind so I get blown home!

Hey Team...oh real school...it has descended!!! Started new block today with introductory bacteriology and virology. Yay it seems so fitting considering the flu season has descended! We got a big notice to not come to class if we are sick...the Faculty is trying to avoid everyone in medicine getting sick!!! I think we are all going to think we are sick once we are done with this block...haha

Haven't really decided what I'm going to do at the gym today....hmmm...i think I might do a quick recovery run on the treadmill and then some stat biking...thats my plan right now...we will see...I might as well go to the gym rather than wait in my car in rush hour around the university area.

YAY! This afternoon I get to sit in a dark lecture theatre which is like 30 degrees C right now and watch a movie  Undecided...how many people do you think are going to be awake at the end of that? I'm going to go get myself a ginormous coffee!!!
