Re: Step Back To See the Big Picture Saturday

I don't know about the big picture here -- I've been out of the loop the last couple days. Kids have been on spring break and one of them has been with us every night since last Friday, except for Thursday night.
We celebrated dmom's birthday (only 32 days late, LOL) on Wed. night, and everything seemed fine... and then about an hour after he lay down that night, dh called out for me, and he was just SHAKING all over, with chills. Fever was around 101, but it went up to almost 104 before it finally went down. Aside from fever and the associated body aches, headache, etc... he was nauseated and throwing up. Whew... it was a LONG night.
By morning, the nausea and fever had subsided, and he showered and went on to get a haircut with me. After that, we both slept most all day, having missed most of the night before. (I did check with the rest of the family, and no one else was sick, so I don't think it was my spaghetti!)
Well, Thursday, he slept all day again, and GOUT came along. That is still bothering him. DDIL said she thought any sort of virus or bacterial infection could bring on an episode of gout. Sounds logical to me.
Yesterday, basically more of the same... gout pain is awful for him and he is using the walker. Lots of fetch and carry on my part...
I was going to take dgs to ball practice last night, but we got there and dgs was throwing up. HE was complaining with chills, headache, nausea...
We talked to the coach and came home.
DGS sounds fine now. He and dgd are outside playing baseball.
Saturdays, for some reason, always find me sleepy. I don't know why -- I get up about an hour earlier than usual for breakfast from Hardee's... so I don't know if it's eating a bigger breakfast, or losing a bit of my "normal" sleep, or what... but I've been napping in the recliner for a long while.
I have to take dgd home, and then I'll come back and cuop... see what y'all have been doing these past couple of days.
