S13 came over today. He's healthy, he's fine. I am not asking him anything. He's not sharing anything about having W's om come to his game last Thursday. Again, I just want him to feel comfortable here. No stress. No prying.
Ok, maybe a little conflict. I made spaghetti and biscuits for dinner. He ate his first serving before I had time to sit down. He grabbed a 2nd plate's worth and headed to my bedroom, and I told him "no eating in the bedroom". Which s13 ignored.
So I charge in the bedroom saying "noogie patrol", and proceeded to give him a bunch of noogies. Giggling is a good medicine for both of us.
I'm glad your son is okay. Sounds like your son has recovered nicely and enjoyed his time w/you yesterday.

It looks like I have a reprieve from having to meet om this week. S13 has a Thursday baseball game, and W brought om to last week's game, but I did not go.
This week, I am bringing s13 to his game. But W will not be going, and instead is taking d17 to an orthodontist appointment.
W was nice to me today (it feels so weird!) I am feeling miserable, and I am stressed out at work. And I received a text from W to let me know that d17's orthodontist appointment got moved up, and that if I wanted, she could do both the d17 appointment as well as s13's baseball game tonight.
I gratefully accepted, letting W know that I was sick.
And W has sent 2 videos of s13 getting hits at his game, and keeping me updated on the score. I wasn't very active with my responses. Especially when W said that nights like this are when it would be nice to snuggle a pet.
Yeah, I guess I would prefer a W to snuggle with me when I am sick. But we can't have everything, now can we?
Quick update - I am dog tired today from boxing up all of my work files and carting them out to my van. I also have a lung infection, so I texted W to see if she could bring s13 to my place. W responded that she has a high fever.
Then she texted she can hardly walk. I texted back that I hope she felt better, and that I would be over at 4 to pick up s13.
W actually asked me how my doctor's appointment went today - she never asks about me, but whatever. I texted her that I am on a new set of drugs.
Then she texted that I should not wait too long to get to the hospital this time. This is an odd statement, as the only recent time I have been to the hospital is for last year's spine surgery. But I will accept her concern at face value, nothing more.
Oh, and I was only a little bit happy hearing that W is really ill at the start of the weekend. Though my juvenile happiness of my W's sickness quickly went back to acceptance of the reality of what I am facing.
I wonder if you and your wife caught whatever you son had. What you have described as the symptoms is here in my area as well. Your wife is right...this isn't something to play with and I'm glad you saw the doctor today. Rest and plenty of fluids helps.
I hope that you and your family will be feeling better very soon.

Weird, I just received a phone call from W. She asked how I was doing, and I explained the switch in antibiotics that I am on. She told me that she is feeling much better than last night. We also had a little chit chat about our children.
Again, W calling me is unusual. Her asking how I am doing is unusual. There is nothing to it, just reporting a different discussion than normal.
