The weekend flu by

This past weekend was one of those many times where I just felt totally useless. My wife seems to get every flu bug that the kids bring home, and so a few days after my daughter is just starting to get better, Jenny is down again with flu-like symptoms. This has been happening fairly often for the past six months or so.

The real problem with Jenny throwing up and not being able to keep anything down is her medicine. If she goes too long without pain medicine or even some of the lupus meds, she starts to get even worse.

I never know what to do for her, other than taking care of the kids and giving her stuff if she asks for it. My daughter is old enough to help out, and she does help a lot, but my son is only five, and gets very upset when his mommy isn’t able to get out of bed. He wants her to be better but he doesn’t know what to do. Well, I don’t either.

We had planned a party for Saturday evening, and I was going to cancel it, which is what I usually do in this circumstance, but I decided not to cancel. We talked about it, and she would have felt terrible, AND still been too sick to get out of bed. She stayed upstairs in bed and we went on without her. It wasn’t nearly as fun without her, but what are you going to do? It was a very short gathering, but still, that’s no fun.

On Sunday, I had to drive the kids to a soccer tournament that was three hours away, so my poor wife was alone on the couch with some apple juice and crackers for most of the day.

She does appear to be feeling a bit better now. I’m pretty exhausted. Hopefully, I won’t get sick as well.
