Theres two things that a CF wife dreads....Hearing her husband say I think Im sick and feeling sick herself. Thankfully, I am the one that is sick. I started feeling bad a couple of days ago and as soon as I started feeling sick, all of the what ifs started running in my mind. With Orys lung function so low and his immune system what it is, me getting sick, in my mind, is not an option. But sometimes our bodies wont listen and we have to do what we have to do in spite of it. After spending 4 hrs at the Drs office yesterday, looks like I have the East Texas crud. That might not be a big deal for most people but the thing I keep hearing in my mind is Dr Barto telling us that the slightest cold or virus could be devastating for Ory. So, I have tried so hard to stay healthy. I take supplements and vitamins but this thing has got me and so, for me, the only option was to stay away from Ory to make sure he doesnt get it. As hard as that is. The thing I want most is for him to stay as healthy as possible. I am so thankful that I havent had to do that, until now, at least. But now, I think it is for the best until I get to feeling better and make sure that Ory doesnt get this crud. So, last night, we stayed in separate rooms and this morning I am at my sisters and we called in the Calgary! Momma Jeannie is on her way to hang out with Ory while I am getting well. I am only a stones throw away from my house, so if it gets too bad, I can go to the house and look at Ory through the window. LOL This morning, Ory was wanting to give me a cup of coffee. I wouldnt let him come in the bedroom and I couldnt find a mask, so I wrapped toilet paper around my head to cover my mouth and nose like a mummy, so I could get my coffee from him. I knew it would crack Ory up. And it did! This is just one of those things that CFers and their families have to deal with sometimes. Thankfully, for us, this is the first time it has happened. If I had woke up feeling lots better this morning, it wouldnt have been such a big deal but I woke up feeling not so good. Last night, Ory and I talked on the phone in our separate rooms with the doors open and Hazel going back and forth between us wandering what in the heck was going on. LOL....Were going to figure out how to Skype after while and try that out. Its weird being apart b/c we spend so much time together but it wont be for long. I know he will enjoy the time with his Momma too and she will enjoy visiting with him. Thanks for your prayers for me yesterday. I was just really feeling down about being sick. I like being the one thats the caregiver...the one doing...the one taking care of stuff but for a couple of days Im going to have to chill out and just focus on getting better. As Ory has told me before from time to time, God sometimes wants to show you how to be Mary instead of Martha. So, thanks for prayers and encouragement. Spirits are good and all is well. Be blessed. Be encouraged.
