So Miya has been home close to three months and I am SICK of being in semi-isolation. Miya is too. She’s always grabbing the car key out of the drawer and making the sign for “car”.
About 10 days ago, we all came down with the flu. Chris and I were sick for about 3 days, but Miya was sick for 6 days. She experienced vomiting and diarrhea on each of those 6 days and she lost 3lbs. We ended up taking her to the hospital last Tuesday. After about six hours of observation and 60ml of electrolyte solution every hour, they gave enough solution to take home and continue treatment there. For 24 hours, around the clock, Chris and I put 60ml of electrolyte fluid into Miya’s NG tube.
We have begun tailing Miya’s Cyclosporin. Her last dose will be on the 6th of March. I’m excited for her to lose all her monkey hair!!
Other than that, things have been uneventful. Same old, same old. I am totally sick of isolation. I think it’s harder on me than I thought it would be. “How hard can it be to stay home all day with my kid?” I thought. Hahahaha. Last Saturday, when Miya and Chris were the sickest of all of us, I went to the grocery store for sick supplies (popsicles, PowerAde, etc) and I was never so happy to get out in the car by myself IN MY WHOLE LIFE. I was so so so excited to drive to the grocery store!! Hahahahaha!!! Is this what I’ve been reduced to?
