Poor Daddy

Chris came home from work on Tuesday sick with the crud. He tried to go to urgent care after work but they close at 6pm, so he went first thing Wed. morning. They told him it was probably a bacterial infection & gave him a Z-pac & cough syrup so he could get some sleep (he didn't sleep at all Tues night). Being the stubborn man he tends to be sometimes he went to work after his doctor appointment on Wed only to come home at lunch time because he felt so bad. If you know Chris you are aware that he is hardly ever sick & if he is its usually only for a 24 hour period. Its as if his body hits a reject button & magically he is all better the next day, but not this time. He is full blown sick this time. He has the sore throat, chest & nasal congestion + a bad cough. He went back to work on Thursday but he still felt terrible, see what I mean, stubborn. The doctor told him to keep his distance from me & Emma to keep us from catching it so he has been sleeping on the couch & talking to us from across the room. It is killing him staying away from Emma but he doesn't want her sick.

So due to Chris being sick I have been doing all the nightly feeding all by myself & man am I tired. We wake Emma up twice during the night at 11pm & 3am & Chris normally does the 11pm feeding so I can get some rest but since he has been sick he hasn't been doing the feedings this week. Plus Chris normally does all the nightly feedings on the weekends so I can get a break but he is still sick & I had to do them last night. He is starting to sound better but he still doesn't feel all that great. I can definitely tell you he isn't happy about being sick at all. He told me the other day he would rather have a broken limb then be sick & I told him he hasn't experienced what its really like to be sick in a very long & this is what being sick is like for normal people. Feel better soon Daddy.
