Double Birthdays!!


Ten years and one day ago I gave birth to a healthy baby boy. the next day was my birthday! Needless to say I got nothing for that birthday save my son. That was fine with me :) he was present enough. So all that means is that today is my birthday and yesterday was my son’s!

Please everyone wish my son a happy birthday, it’s been a rough one this year! Wednesday he started complaining of a soar throat that night at midnight he sat at the foot of my bed throwing up. all night he was up and down with fever and so on. When morning came his temperature climbed to 103.7 and I couldn’t get it down despite the Motrin and Tylenol and the cold bath, all of which usually works. So I rushed him to emergency. By the time they got to him his fever was almost gone. We got the best room in the e.r. and he was treated to a pop after given some medicine to keep him from getting sick. Well after his shot for the strep throat it was clear the medicine didn’t work. After 2pm we finally headed home.

The next day was going to be his birthday. He was so upset to find out that he wasn’t going to get to celebrate! But he came to terms and was thrilled to get many calls from family wishing him a happy birthday and getting to open his present from me, a kick bleep water gun!

So we have been spending our birthdays in isolation with plain bread, ice pops, and cartoons. It hasn’t been that bad though. I’ve really have enjoyed the quite time alone with my son. :)

Btw, he is doing really well. Since he came home he has kept everything down and has felt relatively ok. Nothing like the strep throat I had as a child of utter misery.

Hope you all will have a healthy, happy week!

Love,
dinah

  16. Thank you for stopping by one of my blogs, and leaving a comment.

    I'm so sorry that your son has been so sick, on his Birthday, even! -sigh- But I'm glad he's been doing well, since coming home. And I wish him a very Happy Birthday, even though it's a belated wish.

    And a Happy Birthday to you too!

  17. I do hope your son is feeling much better now, and a real shame for this to happen for his birthday. I am sure you will find another time soon to spoil him. Maybe you could have a birthday treat for the two of you? x

  18. A happy belated birthday to you both....I'm so sorry your little guy had to go through that trauma the day before he turned 10. We're so lucky we have medicine these days to combat those bacterial infections. That goodness for the times we live in. I too, have a 10 year old. They are wonderful, aren't they?

    Congrats on your Divine Comforts honorarium....you deserve it!
