I always tell my friends to take care of their family first. I know I make decsions that way.

Good luck. I hope she feels better soon.

Tomorrow, when you have to go back to work, I would take her to Trinshadow, so she can get some real rest. I doubt that there is a good place for her to rest at your work.

Do not feel guilty for leaving her with someone else to care for her. I think in the long run, in this case, that you getting your work done and her getting her rest is best for both of you.

My mom worked, and I remember being in other people's homes when I was sick while she worked and I held no anger with her for that and was well cared for by the people who looked after me during the day. Sure I probably cried that I wanted Mom to stay, but in my heart I understood that Mom loved me and that there was no other way to deal with the situation then she did.

Yeah... I think that's gonna have to happen... I can't believe how sleepy she is today and I REALLY need to follow up on the workload thing.

Did you get my comment about arranging some knitting lessons?

Get her in a lukewarm tub if her fever spikes again ... and push the fluids, make her toothpick ice cube popsicles out of juice. Stay home and hold her babe.

Right now she's sleeping and that's good. I got medicine into her about an hour ago.

I'll try the juice thing and see if she'll take them, she doesn't generally drink juice but likes water which is good.

I've made the right decision...she's still sleeping and that's worth allowing her body to do rather than pushing her to have to go somewhere....sleep is a good healer.

THANK YOU!!
