Today has been a royal sucky day...
Jun. 20th, 2011 07:45 pmRob's had a stomach thing for the last few days. Well he woke me up at 5:15am this morning because it had escalated to blood being involved. He was panicked, I thus was suddenly panicked. We evaluated the situation decided to wait and call his Doctor's office as soon as they opened and see what they said. He fell back asleep but I spent 5-9 laying there spooning him thinking about what the HELL would I do if something horrible happened to him.
I emailed my super awesome bosses to say "Umm I don't think I can come in right now" and they were SUPER nice about it. If you ever want to know the advantage of working for a small business with crazy owners here's top of my list, they're nice people who care about their employees!!!!
At 8:45 the dr's office called back. The doctor said he thought it would be fine if he waited to come in at 2:30 when they had an appointment. This eased my stress a lot, if given the list of symptoms they thought it would be emergency worthy they'd have sent us straight to the ER.
Insert Robin pacing the appartment unable to focus on anything from 9-1:30. Rob really settled down, the blood had stopped and he was feeling a lot better. I was trying VERY hard to appear calm..like a duck frantically paddling...
The doctor said it was either some type of infection bacterial or viral that would probably work it's course in 3-5 days (salmonella was his top culprit) OR he's got UC. and given that the tests for UC are expensive he suggested we treat for the infection and give it a few days. The blood has fully stopped and his fever is gone.
So my mom's school is being closed, which REALLY sucks. Stupid school board and their power play. But as a way of helping everyone cope Rob and I went to Clarksville and filmed a video. Rob's been swamped with work, AND sick and just hasn't quite been able to finish. Mom wanted it for a ceremony they were having tonight. The poor guy after being up all night forced himself to finish it around 5. But then it took so long to upload on youtube that when it was done...My mom was already there. And her cell is always off. I just feel defeated. So I'm going to post it here, so I feel like I put it in the world. It's a really cute tribute.
