The Fog, denial, and a healthy dose of reality
I hate being in a fog and that is where I have been for the past couple of weeks, ever since making the decision that Spencer needed to be out of school. Making that decision had me all up in knots. Have you ever noticed that sometimes, it's the not making a decision that is worse than whatever the decision is. Does that make sense?
The past few days, I have thoroughly enjoyed a little rest thanks to denial. I have forgotten that starting Monday, it is my sole responsibility to get Spencer through the rest of High School. Bleh. Things have slowed down slightly or maybe it's that I have put a lot off knowing Thanksgiving was coming and I would be alone for the week while my kids went to their dad's so there will be plenty of time to catch up.
Then, I was awakened to reality when Shelbie continued to have an unexplained fever and then some days no fever and by no fever, I mean, it was weird. She had the chills and the shakes but that would turn into overheating and body aches and pain but no fever even though she had every symptom of having a fever. This has been going on for nearly 2 weeks.
Spencer has had some really rough days, today being the worst. He has been shaky, pale, clammy and nauseated. No other symptoms.
Sam, well he is on his second round of congestion and crappiness.
So,it's nice to know there is continuity to life. The circle of chronic illness continues and is alive and well and at our house...fog, denial and a healthy dose of reality....fog, denial and a healthy dose of reality....repeat!
