I missed grandparent's day at the kids' school on Tuesday because I was very sick during the night. I was supposed to read to Reece's class at 7:50 AM, and Aubrey's class at 8:40 AM, and they were both looking forward to it (so was I). After reading to the class, the child and grandparents were invited to the library for snacks. I was afraid to go; I needed to be close to the restroom. :o(
I'm not sure what was wrong with me. I have a cold, but don't think that would cause the symptoms I had. I suspect food poisoning from the broccoli and cheese soup I had from Schlotskys. Cyrise had the same soup from there a couple of weeks ago, and she got sick, too. I am never eating at Schlotskys again. That is not an experience I want to repeat.
I felt awful, but Mom has a doctor appointment next week, and he wanted her to have a chest x-ray and lab work done a week before. So we had to go and do that, meaning we had to go to two different places nowhere near each other. We had lunch after that, although I was afraid to eat much. I had some sweet potato fries and they stayed down. Mom always enjoys eating out.
I'm still not feeling very well, and suspect that I'll have to have a blood transfusion tomorrow when I go to the BMT clinic. I'm super tired and a bit shaky with just a little exertion.
Today I went to Mom's, made her some lunch and did the usual stuff over there. Now the kids are home from school, and Reece is here with me. I made a deal with him--he has to practice writing for awhile before we turn on any videos. He practiced for a bit, and now he's watching Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs for the gazillionth time. He plays while he watches, acting out the movie with some little toys. He's always been a very interactive video watcher.
Aubrey just came in crying because Reece's big rubber shark is coming apart at the seams. She wanted a bandaid. I put a piece of sticky medical tape on him, and she laughed. She carried him off as happy as a lark.
Have a great evening.

Yuch! No fun to be sick. Prayers...
Thank you, Adrienne. Yeah, no fun.
I'm sooo sorry that you're not feeling too good. Food poisoning stinks! Uff da! As always, you are in my prayers. I so much enjoy your grandkid stories! They're so cute and you are so blessed!
Thank you, Sarah. I'm glad you like the grandkid stories. I wonder sometimes if I post about them too much and bore my readers.
Thank you both for the prayers. Could I impose on you to pray for my low red blood count, specifically? That is the only thing that is holding me back from being completely healthy right now. Thanks! I will offer up my fatigue for your intentions, Adrienne and Sarah and all of my readers.
