apoxalypse now
day two…
if this is chicken pox, it isn’t so bad. a couple of seb’s bumps now sport blisters, but he’s not itching, isn’t in a bad humour, and all seems to be well. his back has about nine red marks, none on his face, (yet), his chest and area maybe seven. it’s no big deal. seb and i walked to the horses today and then looked at the koi fish in the nearby reservior. it was a warm day and we had a fun time and best of all, he got to burn up some energy. the whole family played at a nearby playground earlier in the day, and i am pleased to say that sebastian and carys did not cry when they were forced to get off the swings. as for sela and jasper? the diva and the baby? you draw your own conclusions.
jasper ended up in emergency today, nothing drastically wrong, but since all the drs offices are closed for chinese new year, when he started wheezing and the pulmacort, nebuliser and chamber weren’t helping, we knew it was time to get him to a&e and some stronger drugs. jasper had spent a great deal of the day in my arms, i’m such an unhappy boy, and cuddling gave him some comfort. but he really perked up after he spent 30 minutes taking oxygen through a mask, even to the point where when the man next to him vomitted, jasper said to charles, "uh oh".
sela has two red bumps on her face, they have not blistered, and i am wondering if they are mossie bites. but when push comes to shove, i think we are looking at a month or so of chicken pox.
i had a great run today, i didn’t time myself but i know that it was around 30 minutes. i started off with u2’s beautiful day, i song i have loved for a long time. next is two dog night’s "mama told me not to come" followed by slim shady, but folks, i need some other good music. my brother has a lot of my cd’s, which is too bad…but i do have a $15 credit on imusic, so if anyone has any good songs to recommend, please post them here.
and that’s all we have from spot central. if we ask nicely, charles might post some pictures…..
