Hospital Visit

So yesterday was a rough one. My son developed a horrible wheeze and cough. We were trying to wait to see his primary care provider, but they told us they couldn’t help us. So we waited until we couldn’t wait anymore. His poor little lungs were working so hard and he was so raspy, so we made the decision to go to the ER.

The ER right now is scary. My son went in with his dad because they only allow one chaperone for minors. It was absolutely terrifying sitting in the car not knowing what was going on. They have a tent set up in front of the entrance to take temperatures and distribute masks.

My boyfriend FaceTimed me when they were settled into their room. My poor baby cried when he saw me 💔

It was a quick trip luckily. My son has an upper respiratory infection and an ear infection. We have antibiotics and we’re back home under quarantine.

Stay safe everyone! And if I don’t post as much it’s because I have a sick baby to take care of.

Quarantine Book Review Series

In honor of my self quarantine, and the seemingly world wide quarantine, I will be doing a series of book reviews related to the current state of the world. I don’t want anyone to think I’m making light of this situation or making fun of anyone because I am just as worried as everyone else. I was just thinking that it would be an interesting time to visit pandemic/post-apocalyptic literature. I’ve seen some other bloggers doing it and thought it would be interesting to compare the novels to real life.

I have just finished Severance by Ling Ma, coming up after that will be Station Eleven by Emily St. John Mandel, then Zone One by Colson Whitehead.

Keep an eye out for my series of Quarantine Reviews, and I’d love some recommendations for this review series in the comments.
