3/4 of a year, illness, etc.

Busy week, as usual, and once again Raf has been sick. Poor baby. My guess is that he's in a terrible cycle of being ill, thus lowered immunity, and thus more vulnerable to sickness. It's been quite an awful couple of days. Tuesday night Raf was up ALL night with a very high fever (103). He was miserable, absolutely miserable, and was very sick around 3am. He didn't go to nursery because a) we didn;t want to infect Hudson and Sierra, and 2) he's been up all night and was of course wanting his mama. I took him to the Drs as we'd called the office and they suggested we come in. I was a bit embarrassed as we'd only been there on Friday for a rash on Raf's face. At the time I thought it might be a viral rash, or something, because he has just been 'off' for a long while now. But they thought it was nothing... so, anyway, back we went, seeing another doctor, and she thought that Raf just had a tummy bug. Tylenol brought down his fever, thankfully, and last night we enjoyed better sleep.

But the reality is that when Raf's ill we don't have a back-up, or anyone who could take care of him. As it was on Wednesday Rich went to work in the morning and in the afternoon I took Raf to campus and waited for Rich to come and watch Raf while I was in class.

Talk about exhausted.

And did I mention that yesterday Raf turned NINE months! no cake, but we did buy him one of the walkers (not the dangerous sort :) )

Thankfully Raf is feeling quite a bit better. I worked from home today, and here Raf is helping me mark essays :)
