I started working on Dec

I started working on Dec 19th. Since then I have left early 2 times and called out two times!! Nice track record huh? One day well I think it was even my first week, I left early because the babysitter had to take her grandson to the er for his 104 degree temp. Then this past Monday we were carless so Dean and I both stayed home with the baby. Yesterday I left work at noon so I could take Caleb to the dr. He is really sick. He was sleeping through the night really well then he started not to and woke coughing. And he was burning up, it was hard to take his temp but he was obviously fevered. So I took him to the dr yesterday, she said it is acute RSV,which is a respitory infection in babies. She didnt give him any medicine just said to nurse him through it. So he seemed to better last evening so I thought I’d be fine to work today but then around 2 am he decided he was miserable and stayed up most of the night. He was either coughing or struggling to breath all night. This morning I took Dean to work and came home to a crying baby!! (by the way my brother in law is currently living with us so he has been babysitting) I figured if Caleb was fussy all night with us that Darren would have no chance for peace with him today. But he’s been okay, I dont doubt he has separation anxiety and that is making this week harder on him when I do go to work. I gave him a bath this morning, he loves the bathtub. And he always sleeps almost immediately after getting all lotioned up and in a diaper, sometimes he is asleep before I can dress him. So I knew that was a sure way to help clear his chest, with the hot water and the soothing vapor bath stuff. And it was a sure way to get him back to sleep, and it worked, he slept of and on for about 1 hr and a half. Since then he’s been fussy off and on but mostly okay. He’s clingy and keeps sweating and burning up even with tylenol, but at least today I have gotten him to eat. Hopefully , well kind of with hope, I will be back at work tomorrow. I want to go so I have money then again I’d rather be home with Caleb, especially knowing and seeing how much he needs me. Well he is calling me…..
