Not really piecing and trying not to jinx it, but

I'm allergic to erythromycin too! We got it flavored at the pharmacy and when we got home I almost went to taste a drop of it first to tell him if the flavor was good until I realized what it was! Not that a drop probably would have done anything to me, but you never know.

He has a low grade fever again now, but is happily watching DVDs and munching on his second mini bag of microwave popcorn. Popcorn,of all things! That was the only thing he's wanted besides juice (thankfully) or popsicles. It's full of fiber though so at least it's something to fill his belly. Definitely no school again tomorrow though.

And to keep on topic for the board, it's so nice to actually have my H's support at times like this. Even if he's not here, knowing I have someone who is as concerned that I can talk to is priceless and if I asked, he'd be here in a millisecond.

I've gotten very used to the day to day drudge work of single parenting, but I had never gotten used to being in it all alone. No backup. No breaks. If it wasn't his visitation time, he pretty much forgot (or at least acted like it) son existed. Never called to check on him or anything, so I'd never make a point to tell him, "Oh, S had a fever last night" or "S has a cold again". It's almost a novelty since he was emotionally checked out by the time S was ever born. It's like, "wow, this is how it's supposed to be when you have a kid!".
