Thursday night was a full moon. We could tell at our house. X got a nasty cold that his older brother had. This meant 2 hours of sleep with a lot of nausea, crying, screaming and PTSD like reactions to his sore throat. Ever since he had the ng tube ( feeding tube that went down his nose) he panics if his nose or throat hurts. It's horrible (we are trying to find someone to help him with this, but that is proving more difficult than it should).
On Thursday night the hubby was hit by drunk driver. He is okay, but the car is totaled ( and this was the first night of C's vacation) This driver stopped in front of a bar, missed his parking spot, stopped, put his van in reverse and hit the gas. C was stopped and honked his horn and tried to back up, but the guy didn't hear him. He hit C so hard both air bags went off. This person was extremely drunk and his friend who was with him was worse off. C said it was like something out of Cops. The friend of the driver was asking C and a witness if they had any weed. Then the driver told his friend he had a lot of DUIs and said he was going to wait for the police in the bar. Well, he disappeared and his friend told the police he was the driver. It's a mess. We don't know if the driver was insured, so we may be responsible for our deductible. The police looked for the driver, but couldn't find him. They impounded his vehicle, so hopefully he goes to claim it and they can get him then. Ugh. We do have a nice rental car our insurance is paying for. The boys have been enjoying that.
X is starting to tolerate his feeds today. They are small, but he isn't nauseas and isn't throwing up. He also has energy and is not dehydrated, so this is all good news. This is the first big illness (for him) with just the gtube, so it was scary, but he made it and we stayed out of the hospital, so I think we are good.
Both boys have been sick since Tuesday night and we have been stuck at home this whole time. We are all going crazy. I work tomorrow, so I will get out of the house then. Yay!
