My wife was out of town until 10 so i had to pick up my son from day care, go grocery shopping and then take care of him until she came home... When i got home from fishing i took my temp- 103 degrees.. then i go grocery shopping. it takes me 45 minutes to do what i usually can do in 15. I get to the checkout lane and when its time to pay i realize i forgot my wallet. Now i have to drive home to get my wallet and then back to get the groceries. After all that nonsense i have to watch a 15 month old, make him dinner and then give him a bath. The whole time I am on the brink of hallucination. just when i think i am in the clear, the tub is done and i am ready to take him out what does he do? he poops. So now i have to give him a 2nd bath. After putting him to bed i pass out in exhaustion on the couch and wake to find Mrs eben looking at me with concern. at this point i am totally delerious and we take my temp agian... now its 104.2. She freaks out, calls a freind to come over to watch the kid and hauls me to the emergency room. They take my blood, the give me an IV to re-hydrate me.. i didnt leave til 3 am.
what a friggin wild ride. I am better now, but man oh man i have never been so sick.
