It's good I suppose that his labs aren't growing any scary bacteria (apparently, they'll keep looking at it every day or two to check). His best guess for now is that it's an unrelated virus that'll work its way out in time.
At some point in the evening yesterday, I looked up from my book to see tears running down his face and thought he was feeling really down. He was. He'd just read about the cardiologist and his family who were killed by an Israeli airstrike. This isn't normal either. There's so much happening on our watch and we're expected to carry on as though it shouldn't matter.

I'm glad his labs are coming back okay - I hope that this fever breaks soon. How bizarre to have a fever for so long. It does sound like a virus but how odd.
I love it that he would cry about the cardiologist. This is a good man you have in your life, one who cares deeply. Sending all good wishes that his fever breaks soon and that the tests yield useful results that will bring on the healing.
It's just a lot. And all that stress releases cortisol, and our bodies just feel like they're under a relentless assault, which they are. Your husband can't gain ground at this point, can't get ahead to fight things off. I wish he could find a cool place to rest among some trees and just breathe. Not to be all Earth Mothery, but I honestly believe being quiet in Nature is so helpful.
I’m glad that they are running labs every couple of days, viruses can be so horrible. I’m glad he’s healthy and strong so he can fight it, as he is doing.
I really hope Big A turns the corner soon. You've got enough to worry about as it is! I love that he has such a big heart.
oh, Maya. So many heavy things, in your close-in life and life in general. I hope you are being gentle with yourself, too. (And good grief, I hope whatever-it-is is gone for good, and soon...) <3
I'm sorry you have so much on your plate right now. Hoping both your mom and A (continue to) improve.
A was joking that he was patient zero for the new pandemic. I HOPE NOT!!!!!
Jeanie--Truly. I am so, so, *proud* of this compassion. It's one of the things that makes him an amazing doctor.
Nance--This is a great idea... We haven't even been outside in our yard together... we can remedy that today!
J--I think of him as the strong one, but he's been sick more than anyone else this year... I hope he's 100% soon.
Thank you, Lisa. (And I love that about him too!)
Thank you, Anne. I'm good at disappearing for an hour or two to recharge... it's the only way to keep going... <3
Looks good today, Steph... Fingers firmly crossed...
Take care.
