Hi - well, about your son, teenagers are quite up and down. However, even if he changes his mind and decides to stay he will probably remember that you did hear him and his needs. Given all that you have going on, that makes you a very kind and devoted mom. He will remember that!

As for your h, see what his actions show. Meaning, let's see if he actually posts. Keep your expectations really low and just act as if everything is ok with you, except you have a flu.

Also, I highly recommend picking up charcoal pills from an all natural health store. They eat up all that bad stuff in your stomach that is causing the bug. They really do work! You go from being sick for days to it just being absorbed by that charcoal. They have become a staple in our household and when my kids feel a stomach bug coming on, they open up the capsule and mix 1/2 of it in a 1/4 C. of water and viola--no nasty symptoms follow.

Take care of yourself and I hope your h does come to help.
