Bo seems to be a little better today.  he is loving chicken broth and popsicles.  He refuses to drink anything.   He’s not peeing either so that’s not good.  his dr called today to check on him she said as long as he’s eating the chicken broth and popsicles it should be enough but to keep trying fluids since he’s not having wet diapers todays.   the good thing is he’s not thrown up in a while, but he’s also not had milk for at least 2 days now; or solid foods either.   He’s still having bouts of unconsolable crying, me too for that matter.  I’m stressed and now I’m starting to feel sick too.   Dean cant take off of work til after the new year so I cant afford to be sick, or rather I get to be sick and have no one to help.  I dont want anyone to come get whatever this is that’s destroying Bo’s and my happiness.   I want to sleep so bad but of course now Bo is not as lethargic instead he’s walking around screaming his head off for no reason that i can tell other than pain and hunger.    I cant feed him real foods yet and nothing is helping the pain.  i almost wish they’d admit him to the hospital for fluids to get him better quicker and so I wouldnt have to do this alone.  it’s a horrible thought but the kid is really sick.   and I’m really out of energy and patience.    If caleb wasnt in school I’d be a real mess, but at least I’ve got a break from his neediness for a few hours.  I feel like a horrible mom but I just want a break.  It sucks that Dean has been working 7 days a week when one of the kids is sick add to that my not feeling good and it’s not a good combo.   Only two more weesk til christmas, we havent bought any presents, have no funds to do so yet and I’m generally not in a real christmassy mood.    I cant wait for this month to be over.   at least then Dean wont be working weekends ,well maybe,  his real job(the 9-5 one) is asking him to work weekends/nights and he’s salaried so he wont get paid any more.  so i get to suffer more alone and without extra fundage to show for it.  God help me I’m going to lose it!
