This was written Thurs 1/29
So on Sat they installed linoleum in that bathroom. Ihad to come home on
Sunday cuz my boyfriend needed space to do his homework, I missed my cat,
and I had come down with this terrible cough and cold the night before.
Ugh!
I didn't smell anything with the hallway window open and my roommates
stayed out of that bathroom for a
few days. Last night they opened the door once when I was nearby and I
thought I smelled something, but that could have been products.
My cough continues, to the peeingmypants point esp when I go to bed. I
spent 2 days in bed (well I can only stay in bed half the day in the
daytime). Today was my first day back at work. I am still all phlegmy.
My only inhaler I can find is no good. but I am slowly getting better.

On Mon night because I am so good at overcommitting I kept my commitment
to babysit even though I was sick. Around the time my roommate left, I
noticed that the kid, 18
months old, was breathing really fast. She spent maybe 4 hours really
awake in the last 2 days. Her mom didn't bring her to the
doctor until today and now they are spending the first of up to 4 nights
at the hospital (currently in the ICU). Viral pneumonia. Her o2 level is
back up but she is
still breathing really hard. both of her eyes open again and I guess they
aren't all crusty anymore. She nursed when they were at the doctor's (had
not done that in 3 days) but they will not let the mom nurse her in the
hospital (??!!).
That was really scary. I live with 2 families, and I've been babysitting
since I was like 11. And my mom is a pediatric nurse (the baby's mom is a
massage therapist and acupressurist). I feel bad that I didn't make her
call the dr. I had called my mom last night and she was like, tylenol,
tylenol, and see how she is in the am (3 hours after her only dose of
tylenol, her fever was up to 105.7 when she hadn't been hot all day). I
feel like I should have trusted my judgement more and made her call the
doctor. I suggested it and she finally did call yesterday to make an
appt. for today (she went in early, at least). but god, if we were to
lose little Mimi...
So to top it all off I went to the hospital tonight and may go again
(yuck!). (chemicals)
