I was sick a couple days ago…vomiting, dizziness, etc.  All I could think about was getting E sick. How is it even possible that he wouldn’t get ill if I were??  We are so close, all day long, we are bound to share each and every germ.

A stayed home a bit yesterday morning so I could sleep in and hopefully sleep off this illness.  He poked his head in our room with E to say good morning.  E started crying (admittedly it stopped once he moved onto the kitchen and thoughts of food entered E’s mind) as I lay there thinking how to protect him from getting sick.

What am I supposed to do?  Just accept that when I am sick, E is sick and when E is sick, I am sick?
