New Week, New Randoms - May 6th

[goldenlove]

What's going on today?

[tgrimes]

I'm at work with a migraine. I doubt much work will be getting done.

[danib]

Im at the hospital with H. He got hit with another fever. Literally came out of nowhere and stopped him in his tracks. One second he was playing happily, next second he was shaking and lethargic. Doctors are saying it's likely just viral stuff (he has a cough/cold too) but want us to stay for a little while so they can make sure his fever goes down with Tylenol and they'd like to see him awake - he slept through entire examination, being picked at and moved around.

Poor thing!  I hope the tylenol brings his temp down.

I hope his fever goes down danib! Poor thing.

[goldenlove]

I'm very much over everything about work right now. People are driving me insane.

danib How is H doing?

[waitwhat]

We took the kids to the zoo today. They had a blast and J was so into it! All the animals were out so we really had a good visit. It was about 1.5 hours away and J only napped in the car for 45 min. Now he’s wide awake so looks like we’ll be heading outside. It’s 75 and absolutely beautiful out!

He's ok. The shaking was basically his body being overwhelmed from the fever hitting so fast/hard. They asked us to stay for an hour at the hospital so they could make sure it went down with Tylenol, and they wanted to try and see him alert (he slept through the entire examination, being poked and moved around). So basically manage the fever and monitor symptoms. Go back if things get worse etc. And Follow up if he's still sick next week.

tgrimes Not another migraine 😣 I hope it’s one soon. Have you talked to YH? Any fallout from giving his boss his notice?

waitwhat That’s awesome! I’m planning on taking the kids to the Bronx zoo the second week in June, hopefully it’s not too hot. And Iwasnt sure how’d they fare so I’m happy to hear J was engaged in it!!

danib Oh no!! AB started with a very runny nose yesterday, cranky and then pitched a random fever over night. I’m very much hoping it’s nothing... can I still blame teething? I hope H is feeling better soon and just sleepy bc he’s so fatigued/tired.

[tgrimes]

kleigh No. He just told him to tell HR and help look for his replacement.

[cookswithwine]

Scary danib! Sounds like a febrile seizure?

[cookswithwine]

Worked from home today. H and I went out to lunch since we didn’t get a date night bc MIL was sick. Nothing super excited going on this week.

We don't think seizure, more like really strong shivering. He stayed standing (though appeared dizy) until picked up.
Either way, super freaky and not something I'd like to repeat.

[waitwhat]

Scary danib!

[waitwhat]

kleigh it was great! We put the kids in the stroller but they eventually wanted to get out and walk around. J was pointing and naming all the animals and making their sounds. It was adorable. He was really into it this year! You’ll have a great time!

[goldenlove]

C loved the zoo when we went a couple weeks ago! It was a lot different than last year. He's paying so much more attention to the animals.

[goldenlove]

Cute story: Sunday was really nice out so I put a short sleeve shirt on C for the first time this season. He looked at his arms weird with the most concerned face and said "oh no it's broken!"

I died.

[kleigh]

goldenlove That is so much something one of mine would say 😂 . We are having an issue with these tiny “sugar ants”, apparently my whole street is.. so every time AV sees one she screams “aaaaaaannnnnttttt”, then picks it up and tries to put it on me. No girl, no.

danib Haven’t checked into SC, how’s H?

tgrimes How’s your migraine?

I can't stop laughing.  That's hilarious!

Much better.  It's still throbbing a bit but nothing like yesterday. 

[kleigh]

I woke up feeling like I need to give MH a very specific minute by minute play of what I want for Mother’s Day. Mostly bc my kids are being very....toddlerish... right now. Like:

5:30am to 7:30am Let mom sleep, take kids downstairs, light breakfast, and out of the house for a walk

7:30am to 8:30am Let mom shower in peace while Dad answers 362 questions

9:00am to 10:30am Treat Mom to brunch at a fancy place with bottomless bloody Mary’s. Invite the mother in laws as a ploy, suggest it’s for Mother’s Day but let them instead spend their morning wrangling the toddlers while Mom eats and drinks in peace.

11:00am Present Mom with a surprise of getting a mani, pedi, and massage. Drop mom off and dad takes kids to the playground by himself where he will endure both kids running in seperate directions and the inevitable battle of strapping them back into a stroller or car seats.

1:00pm Suggest mom take a nap

2:00pm Present Mom with a cake, more bloody Mary’s, and 2-3 sensible yet thoughtful and pretty gifts.

Something like this....

[danib]

Lol kleigh that's fantastic. I'm working Mother's Day so cannot copy. Will live vicariously.

H is still miserable. Im getting a smidge longer between doses so that's a positive I guess. Meds will bring it down but when it shoots up it does so quickly. He also cannot seem to function unless he is sitting/lying on me so I've barely moved all day since dropping C at school. I have no idea how I'm going to get C to his swim lessons today, taking H is not an option.

[tgrimes]

kleigh That sounds amazing.

[goldenlove]

kleigh that sounds like a perfect day!! You should tape it to his mirror or put it on his calendar lol

[goldenlove]

I'm sorry he's still sick danib! Did they say what it could be?

[cookswithwine]

I’m debating what I want to do for Mother’s Day. We usually do something with my mom which H finds weird... I have a release the night before though where I have to work at mid night. So I don’t think I’ll be up for anything in the morning. I’m pretty sure O still has swim too.

Well he has a cough and runny nose so "viral" symptoms. He's been sick since Easter with either vomiting, diarrhea, fever, cough, or a combination of the above. If things get worse or he's still sick next week we should follow up..

[danib]

We are watching Frozen for the 3rd time today. Thank goodness I actually like it otherwise I'd be drove bonkers.

LOL! He forgot about that warm weather and short sleeves life!

I remember Jonah doing something similar before. He kept trying to pull the sleeves down like they were rolled up or something.
