I'm on my first work related trip in years. I am also not home to rock my 16 month old baby girl to sleep for the first time since the day she was born. I'm doing OK. I miss her and my incredibly awesome hubby like crazy but I'm managing. I talked to her on the phone last night. I said "Hi, baby" and I swear she said "Hi, baby" right back. It was so cute.
All isn't rosy with her though. She has come down with a bug of some sort. Daycare called yesterday at noon and Travis had to go pick her up. She has a slight fever and seems a little tired but other than that she seems OK. She got her 15 month vaccinations last Friday so I wonder if she is having a reaction to one of them. I think the MMR shot often has a delayed reaction. I really want to drive home right now but I can't. My older sister is taking care of her today & hopefully she can go back to day care tomorrow. I can't wait to see her and Travis tomorrow night.
Mom update: She did complete her A/C chemo last Thursday. She hasn't been feeling well this week though. She thinks she is fighting a little bit of a cold (my niece and nephew have both had fevers lately and she lives with them). Yesterday she felt good enough to go out for breakfast with a friend but ate some greasier food and she said her tummy hasn't felt very good since then. Hopefully she gets better quickly.
Goofy training has been going pretty well. I have not done this much running in my life but since I haven't run a marathon before I guess that is to be expected. I just wish I ran a little faster so it didn't take me so long to do my runs. Oh well, I know I'm not fast and never will be so that is what I get when adding on the miles. This weekend is my first 18 mile long run. I'm looking forward to it. Saturday is going to fly by....18 mile run in the morning, Nebraska football game on TV in the afternoon and a trip to the zoo for trick or treating in the late afternoon/early evening. My mom, sister & family are planning on coming over too. I'm going to be beat by Sunday morning!
Gotta run.....the Mall of America is calling my name!

So glad to hear you mum is done with AC chemo. It is a cumulative effect - so it makes sense that she is feeling the effects.
ReplyDeleteBeing away from your little one - is just the start of the growing process. Every year there are more and more opportunities pulling your child away from you and out into the world. "Get used to it".
Peace
