So, this week Caylen came down with something and got pretty sick and we took her to the walk-in clinic. They couldn't really tell what it was, but they told us to keep her on Tylenol and Motrin. She was running a fever as high as 104 at one point, and they still told us that it could possibly just be teething! I knew that it had to be more than that but I had no clue how bad she felt until I got sick as well! It is definitely the flu, and they say anyone with flu symptoms this early has the 'swine flu.' Of course this scared the crap out of me since Caylen is still so little, but she nursed constantly for 2 days straight and she seemed to be feeling a lot better on the 3rd day. I am currently on my second day, and they say that the worst part lasts about 48 hours, so I am hoping I will feel much better tomorrow. My only worry is that mine will develop, or already has developed, into bronchitis because I always seem to get bronchitis when I get sick. I hope Caylen continues to get better and doesn't have a relapse or anything, and I hope she doesn't get the cough like I have had. I have been itching to wean here lately but this had made me very thankful that even when she refused to eat or drink anything, she always wanted to nurse. Sure, it is not near the caloric density that she needs, but it is so much better than her not eating or drinking at all! I am trying to stay away from Brandon so he doesn't get it but honestly the outlook is pretty grim....
So, I didn't get the job I interviewed for, but I am actually pretty happy. It was a really good job and all but I wasn't anywhere near ready to take Caylen to daycare 5 days a week, even if it is just a half-day. It was also pretty far for us and I would have to leave our house with Caylen at 6 AM! I just don't see how it would have worked anyway so I prayed about it a lot and I think it all turned out the way it should! I will be working at the Funeral Home a couple of days a week though now, but I can take Caylen with me so it is much better. I also like that I would be helping out in the family business-- I really like the fact that Brandon and I could both be in the family business together. God always has a plan that is better than our own-- it took me a while to figure that out! I might get back into teaching sometime in the future, but as of now we are not ready yet.
Well, I hope the Burkhead family gets to feeling better soon; I am going to go through and disinfect everything after this is all through!
