I've been feeling the effects of something bad since early this morning. I've stayed away from the water, so I definitely don't think its that. I ate a cheese burger at a restaurant last night, so the meat might be the culprit. But, it also feels like the flu.
Because I am sick, I didn't go to work with the babies today. But, I heard from my housemates who worked today that they weighed the babies. Little Simon, 3 months old, gained a pound since last month. He is a whopping 6 pounds now! And, 1-1/2 yr old Estrella weighed in at 16 pounds today. She was 9 pounds when she was admitted this June.
I received a newsletter from Amy, the Volunteer coordinator for Casa Jackson, indicating that on top of the limited baby to caretaker ratio that already exists, several nurses have recently resigned. So, the need for volunteers is mounting.
My day consisted of hanging out in my bed and making trips to the restroom. I wasn't able to stomach lunch, and tonight's dinner was miniscule. Carolina was very sweet and fixed broth soup for dinner, along with bland potatoes in hopes I could stomach something.
For those of you following on Facebook- thank you for all the get well soon wishes. Hopefully, I'll be back with the babies tomorrow.
