Back three weeks ago I mentioned that everybody except James and myself had gotten sick. Not so anymore.
Sunday, James was coughing a bit, but by Sunday, he was throwing up and wouldn’t drink anything, so Irene finally had to take him to emergency. They admitted him immediately because he was having difficulty breathing, and that’s where he stays. He’s got a touch of pneumonia and has to stay there until he’s breathing normally through the night.
Irene is staying with him. After the first night when I got home (someone has to look after Michelle) about 1:00AM I was hit by the same thing Irene had. A nasty stomach flu, with muscle cramps, fever, etc.
All day yesterday, I could barely do more than move from one spot on the floor to another. Michelle was particularly good. She didn’t cause problems and she helped out. She’d get me things when I needed them and didn’t complain.
Still, with only her and myself in the house, it was really lonely last night.
