Up too late
|
So
I'm up too late right now and I'm heading to bed. This evening we kind
of figured out that the herpes problem in dh's eye is probably not
herpes simplex/cold sore type, but the shingles kind - herpes
zoster. I think he's getting it under his upper arm, too. I
got some things at the health store that are supposed to help and so
far, the one he's taking already seems to be working. I hope it
does, because shingles is so painful! Took Nikol w/me to the health store today while the other two stayed w/Dad and worked on math. Nik was so funny and excited once we were in the store. It was the first time we'd ever been there, but he knows I'd been meaning to go to "the health store" to get him some special foods and was he ever excited about that! I sometimes feel so bad for him, yet I'm so proud of him at the same time. He's been dealing w/this for almost a year now and he does so well. Not having any dairy or wheat is a tough one and as his chief "food distributor" (for lack of a better term), it's hard for *me* sometimes, too, to figure out how to incorporate his dietary needs w/the rest of our meals w/out going insane eventually. When he asks about something and is told no, he's very good about it and (this is why it's so sad sometimes, because he takes it in stride and is such a little man about it) says "Because it will make me sick? Ok." So at the store today, we got rice flour bread, "Neopolitan" soy ice cream, goat cheese and mini-shell rice pasta. Soy cheese hasn't worked well for us and he doesn't really like it (I don't blame him). Plus, it has casein in it, which I don't want to mess w/too much w/him. I asked about rice cheese, but they didn't have it there. I might look at a few other places for it, but for now, he was delighted and asked for mac n cheese for lunch :-D. And tonight he had toast w/his dinner. I really (and I mean really) need to find a recipe that works for bread, because I found out tonight how much he really misses it. I think I'd get tired of having my peanut butter and jelly on rice cakes or corn tortillas, too. And hamburgers w/no buns and all that lovely stuff. That's the other thing he's great about - places like McD's. He gets to have a hamburger (or 2) w/no bun, no cheese, no nothing. And call it "hamburger nuggets." He never complains about it and he does adore his fries ;-). Ok, dh just came and asked if I'm coming to bed. Yes, I am, since I'm trying to readjust my internal "clock." :-D. Off to bed now. |
