I woke up at ten o’clock. I feel so tired and I wish I could sleep longer. When I first woke up I was seeing double.
Mom phoned just after I had woken up and wanted to know how Alex was and if he had a temperature. I told her that Alex was fine and didn’t have a temperature.
Alex and I had breakfast, then I had a shower and got dressed. I did the dishes, the laundry, made our beds and tided up the house.
Alex wanted tuna fish sandwiches for lunch. So we had that, Alex likes if with celery. After lunch Alex watched TV while I vacuumed the house. Then I typed in the journal.
Charlie got home at four o’clock, I left to buy some groceries and I also needed to get out. It’s hard being confined in the house, knowing that you can’t go out because your child could get sick. I prefer staying home with Alex, his health is the most important thing to me.
I came home at four thirty and started to cook dinner. After dinner I cleaned up the kitchen and did the dishes. Then I went to K-Mart, it’s about the only place open besides London Drugs! I needed to get out of the house, Alex and I have argued quite a lot today. He seems to be trying to annoy me. He’s been making annoying noises and when I tell him to go into his room, he gets very annoyed.
Well it did me good to get away. It gave me a chance to think about things and calm myself down.
When I got home Alex asked if he could have chips and dip. I told him after he had that he had to get ready for bed. Alex said he would.
Alex went to bed at eight o’clock. I watched TV, wrote in the journal and Alex woke up at eleven o’clock. He was complaining that his foot hurt. I told Alex that I should put an ice cube on it since the last time he had this problem it helped. Alex said it would be too cold. I got a warm cloth and wrapped it around his foot. Alex wanted to have Tempra but I didn’t think it was a good idea. Alex went to bed when I did but came into our room at 12:30 a.m. crying. He said it still hurt. I phoned the hospital, the nurse in 3B said she couldn’t help me and there wasn’t a doctor on the floor. She then transferred me to emergency where I talked to a doctor but the doctor said I would have to bring Alex in. All I wanted to know was whether or not I could give Alex Tempra while he was taking the antibiotic.
I told Alex he couldn’t have Tempra because it wasn’t a good idea. Alex was pretty upset and cried. Then he went into his room and flung himself on the floor and screamed.
Charlie and I went to bed there was no way we could reason with Alex. He followed us when he realized we weren’t going to give in to him. We rubbed his legs but it didn’t seem to work.
Alex woke us up again at two o’clock, crying I gave Alex Tempra, I gave him only one instead of three. After I gave him the Tempra Alex fell asleep and we all got to sleep. I know the Tempra didn’t work that quickly, it was more of a security for him knowing that he had taken medicine.
