My\u00a0Bestest has been taking extra good care of me for the past several weeks\/months, both pre- and post-plica removal surgery.\u00a0 He’s done most of the grocery shopping, school pick-ups and drop-offs, a lot of the cooking, and all of the heavy lifting.\u00a0 Now that my knee is almost healed at three weeks after surgery, it’s his turn to be sick.\u00a0 Poor thing has pneumonia.<\/p>\n
I’m grateful the universe has at least provided us with good timing.\u00a0 I just hope the rest of us don’t get sick too.\u00a0 The Youngest seems a bit sniffly already, which is significant.\u00a0 She also has a tummy ache, which may or may not be.\u00a0 Such is life with Eosinophilic Esophagitis – maybe she’s getting sick or maybe she’s just reacting to something she ate.\u00a0 Time will tell.<\/p>\n
It’s looking like the elder two will outlast the rest of us.\u00a0 My\u00a0Bestest is exhausted, I’ve been up since 3:30 am (oh, hey there early menopause!), and the Youngest is crashing.\u00a0 Hopefully a few good threats will get them through the night with few disturbances.\u00a0 Otherwise, I’m hearkening back to our theme song from when they were little – the Barenaked Ladies’ “Who Needs Sleep?”<\/p>\n
