This all comes the day of chemo when I am told my immunity is super low and the nurses had to double check if we could proceed with chemo. We go to bed like normal but the tot kept waking up into a full screaming in pain while sobbing. This went on so long daddy showed up and finally came to bed as the tot kept snuggling back and forth between us. He was warm but not too hot. He finally snuggled into daddy and slept 3 hours. Woke up still warm and I woke up with nauseousness, headache, slight sore throat. By the end of the day the tot is super snotty and running a 100 fever, the baby is slightly snotty, coughing, sneezing and running a slight fever and mama is snotty, exhausted and coughing slightly and has not taken her temp like a good girl.
Plus the tot coughed directly into my nose, like full blow of air from his cootie ridden breath into my nose so hard my nose inflated. I ran for thieves spray as I tried not to breath in my nose. I mean of all the chances at all times during these chemo treatment, does he make that ringer shot. I means seriously good shot for being asleep!
I did make elderberry syrup and have taken it like I do if I think I have the flu. Put extra ginger. Tot has been drinking it too! Hoping we make it through this unscathed. It's the first time for little bit to be sick and the first time ever that I haven't nursed the tot when he was sick. I mean I tandem nursed with he was puking 3 days after giving birth. Not being able to nurse them makes me feel sick and sad and my eyes get very leaky! I'm an emotional hot mess at the moment!!
I know it all could be worse so I am thankful I have plans in motions. Sweet tot has barely talked today and has been even more snuggly than usual. Sweet boy!
So I lay here willing myself not to get sick, trying not to cry. All three of us with thieves oil on feet and some good oils in the diffuser. I'll take my temp in the morning I promise!
I'm thankful I've been able to push through today with a huge energy surge. Hoping to push through this sickness too! I can totally do this!
Send good vibes this way that we pass this sickness quickly and that I am able to build up some immunity with allowing the chem to do its job. Thanks a million!
Love
