With Poseidon and I down for the count all week, and medicated when the fevers skyrocketed (there was no real absence of fever), Daddy was the hero. I think he even cooked. Yes, I was that out of it that I am not sure. I am certain that some of you out there are cringing, asking why we did not go to the doc, or even the nearest ER.
Once we are able to up anchor and sail into the sunset...there won't be any thing available. Plus, there have bern reduced immunities when you medicate post-shots. At least that is the approved study this week. Most importantly we all overcame this. Don't fret. We consulted the internet, called friends with kids and the Pediatrics department...who stated that though they were unable to transfer me, they could give me the number to appointments. The key to us was that, though either lethargic or appetite-less at times, he still acted like himself.
This week really made me think hard again about what I need to stock when we sail; reminded me that I still have to restock the burn kit; reminded me how much the boat is home...did not want to leave. So, I am going to review a list created by our predecessor (a doc) and start ordering the items with extended shelf life. If you want a copy, I'll email you one. Just be forewarned that I am not a doc, and some of the items may be outdated, and some require a prescription. This is an off-shore kit, not your mother's medicine cabinet.
p.s. The new fuel system is almost finished! I will post that as soon as we wrap it up. And, yes, it's all self-installed by one loving husband.
