Hell Week
March 28th, 2010I just had The Week from Hell.
- Sunday- Skin rash..on my face! My entire face!!
- Monday- Left eye red as a beet
- Tuesday- Right eye red as a beet, and is my throat getting itchy? Must be allergies.
- Wednesday- Definitely not allergies. Throat feels to be engulfed in flames, sneezing ensues, cat is beginning to take notice of my impending situation.
- Thursday- Hell. Absolute Hell. After a night of coughing, sneezing, and clearing my throat, for the most part my voice is out of commission. Btw, the rash on my face? Yeah, still there.
- Friday- Eye infection!!
- Saturday- The cat has been following me around the house. She watches me rest, waits for me outside of the bathroom. I read that cats have a sixth sense re: death. I’m starting to wonder.
Now it’s Sunday, and after over 16 hour of sleep, I think I’ll make a full recovery by tomorrow morning. I credit the flowers and pie J brought home last night. Is there anything that can make a woman swoon more than an unexpected delivery of a bundle of freshly cut flowers? I think not! And although I couldn’t taste the piping hot cherry pie a la mode, I sure felt like it was doing its job. We still have some pie left over. Oh, tomorrow is gonna be taste soooo good!
Unfortunately, after a week of confinement in my room/office/living room, my room/office/living room now reeks of disease and despair. I’ve taken on the task of de-germing the space to make it livable for J. And the cat. Poor thing has caught a cold too. She’s been most sweet and motherly this week. The cat definitely deserves a few days of treats and wet food.

One day, all babies will be born healthy
March 21st, 2010
I received an email from my friend this morning, who is participating in this year’s March of Dimes. My friend is a NICU nurse, caring for premature or sick infants. She sees first-hand the life threatening problems these tiny babies face every day. In her email, she paints a painful picture that hopefully most of us will never have to see:
I’ve witnessed some of the greatest medical miracles in the world — babies born 4 months premature, weighing less than a can of soda, unable to breath on their own, regulate their own temperate, or even tolerate being fed. This past January, I cared for one of the smallest infants our unit has ever seen, weighing only 350 grams — only 12.5 ounces (yes, NOT EVEN A POUND!) With the proper health care management these infants can live on to be cute, chubby, happy, healthy babies! Help give parents hope!
