It’s my third day home with Ethan who is recovering slowly from flu and pneumonia. Today, he slept until 10:30am. We are officially fever free and will celebrate this milestone tonight with more amoxicillin and ice cream. E man feels a little better except for the cough that makes him sound like a 75-year-old who has smoked 65 years. He may have to go back to the doctor if it doesn’t improve but that’s ok, we’re lucky to have doctors and medicine. And an Xbox.
I spent a good 5-10 minutes (20) this afternoon trying to link the Pandora app on my iPhone to the speaker, which makes me feel like a 75-year-old trying to keep up with technology. It’s like calculus in French (both of which I never even took). I’ve tried at least a few dozen times and while I try to be patient like I’m French, it won’t synch. I know what Bluetooth is and I go to “Settings” but then I realize I could be doing something else. Today, I was anxious to scratch “dishes” and “laundry” off my to do list, exciting right? So I just turned up the phone volume and rocked to 90’s hits.
All week, Ethan’s fifth grade friends have been dropping his homework off after school, so while we expected them at the door again, today’s delivery was a fabulous surprise. Ethan got homework PLUS a Green Bay Packers themed get well card signed by the entire 5th grade. He wouldn’t take a picture with the card but it’s too cool and sweet not to announce; real, good-in-the-world evidence.
Now back to dishes and laundry.
