Miserable Monday

Grab the lysol folks I have the stomach flu. I started feeling yucky last night, just not quite and right. Then I woke up this morning running fever, throwing up and just hurting all over. I called in to work and called the Doctor. I went to see him at 9:30 and low and behold I have the stomach flu. He put me off till Thursday. Guess it's a good thing I had some sick time saved up.

He put me on codeine syrup with phenergen to help with the achyness and the nausea. Thank goodness for feel good in a bottle. I'm no longer throwing up but I am still queasy and am still feeling like crap. I slept for like 6 hours this afternoon. Which I needed I just hope I can sleep tonight.

I wanted to thank you all for your kind words and advice concerning Calob. He is now off of being grounded after 5 days. Reason being his teacher allowed him to complete all the assignments that he hadn't turned in. Which brought Calob's grades up to A's and B's.If this ever happens again the teacher will not allow him to make up assignments and that he will have to accept the grade that is given. I don't think he would have allowed Calob to do this if it weren't for this being a very unusual behavior something that he has never done before. Calob and his teacher made a deal that as long as he would continue to do his classwork on a daily basis, that he could continue to stay in the RLC program. Calob is glad and has promised to not do this ever again. He realizes the consequences and understands that this is unacceptable. Richard and I both praised him for doing the right thing and completing the assignments and also to let him know that we understand that everything that is going on is very hard on him and Jacob but that we are here to listen to him. But that he has to let us know that he is having a hard time.

Also wanted to update ya'll on Richard. He is still feeling puny for the most part. But all in all he's hanging in there. About an hour ago he was complaining about his underarm being tender and he discovered another lump this one is about the size of a quarter. We know the cancer is spreading and the Doctor has told us this is to be expected as it is in the lymph nodes it can show up anywhere in the body. Like the fact that we know it is now in the node next to his collar bone also. It's just a little more of reality when you can actually feel it beneath the skin and to be able to touch it, is just beyond me. It's scary... really scary.
