Mr. W is sick!

He is, however, feeling better than I am. I have had a sore throat for several days. Generally it has eased when I go home from the hospital, so I had thought it was just the dry hospital air.

Tonight it hasn't eased. I am fearing the return of the strep. Since I began student teaching, I have a tendency to get fairly severe strep throat every year in the fall. I thought it was because I picked it up from the kids. However, I haven't been teaching for over a year. And I didn't have it last year. But I fear that that is what I'm getting.

I am now panicking because if that is the case....

Well, it can't be the case. That's all I can say. We are supposed to start breastfeeding on Friday! FRIDAY! I. Can. Not. Be. Sick.

I think Mr. W's hypochondria may be contagious ;)

Comments about my post, "Mr. W is sick!":

Dear Miss W. I just found your blog... and wanted to say a huge congratulations on the birth of your son! Your experience is eerily similar to mine - so just wanted to let you know in case you needed to hear from someone who has been through the same thing... I too have a unicornuate uterus, was on bedrest as of 14 weeks, showed signs of incompetent cervix (went into the hospital at 23 weeks - where I stayed for 2 months) and delivered my son 2 months early. He also had apnea and bradycardia (scared me soooo bad!) -but it did resolve when they said it would likely disappear at 37 weeks. I hope all goes smoothly for your little man!!!
kindred spirits,
Andrea

Eek--you.can.not.be.sick. How I hope it's not strep; no fun, but now the stakes are higher. I hope it clears up :-)

If not, perhaps you can start taking Zicam or something like that ASAP? Zicam is OTC and supposedly will cut the duration of a cold if you start taking it early. Just my .02 cents' worth, but not tried and true (heck I should try it though given the number of colds Miss J has brought me from daycare--all in the first two months she's been there!). For all I know though, Zicam could be useless.

How I hope it's not a cold or strep...knocking wood for you. Love to Timmy and to you.
