two most dreaded words in my vocabulary

used to be Summer Break.

they now are

STOOL SAMPLE.

will stop there.
i feel no need for elaboration.


son is better. but not out of the woods. he has lost more weight. he is still weak. not playing or anything, just naps and watching TV.
the good news is that he likes me to nap with him.
"Moma, SLEEP!" he tells me.
Who am I to argue???
so it's nap time.

ciao bella...

I just read your last several entires and i began to cry

what a terrible thing you have gone through

i can only offer prayer

and marvel that you are enduring

t_cole said...

oh c,
you are so precious.
thanks! we are enduring. he ate a few bites of grilled chicken and mashed potatoes for lunch. and is holding it down. so far. perhaps the end is in sight.
soon as i can - i am going to load him up on milkshakes to put some weight back on him. that's the hardest part - i feel like i am going to break him whenever i pick him up. so fragile. so thin.
take care of you!
HUGS!

I've been incommunicado for the past couple of days and had no idea he was so damn sick.

I've had to do the stool sample thing with Buddha three times now. One time the lab lady YELLED at me for not giving her ENOUGH shit.

I'm praying for ease of belly, peace of mind, and rest for the weary.

Love you!

Horrible, so sorry. Andiamo, off to bed with you both, I'm hoping for milkshakes and lots of bread and more mashed taters for him very very soon!

Lots of love to you all, you're doing a great job!

Now you are truly a parent. Stool sample indeed. (At least in this modern time they provide an appropriate container---or not???)

t_cole said...

richard,
you sweet man!
YES, they provide the appropriate container, dip sticks and GLOVES. only thin missing was the clothes-pin for my nose.
and i had been wondering lately at what point in my life i had crossed over from my irresponsible youth to the semi-responsible adult i now am. so glad you helped clear that up for me - it was the stool sample.
=)
hugs to you and your precious wife!
