New school and the miserable two weeks

It is a continuation of my last post. Yaya and Peter began their new school on Monday, Feb.27th. Good thing was that i was still at home, bad thing was that i had tons of task to do. All the unpacking was basically done on that day and the following, and i was exhausted. Yaya was OK with the new daycare, maybe because we had worried so much about her. Peter, on the other hand, was much worse. He cried almost the whole day and i was told that he had a pretty rough day. It turned out that we overlooked his age, again 11 months, the separation anxiety was so bad that the situation for Peter was getting worse and worse. Lei's commute, however, turned out to be better than expected. I guess that i was too busy and tired doing all the housework, trying to have all finished before i needed to start work(Mar. 1st), I didn't really give Peter the due worry and help. So, the teacher called about his loose poop on Wed, Mar.1st, which we thought it was related to the antibiotics he was taking. But No! on Mar. 2nd, he had over 10 BM staying home with me and i was scared that he really got the stomach flu. Since i had to go to work on Friday for Drug and Alcohol test, Lei decided to stay home with Peter. Unexpectedly, Lei got sick on Friday while Peter, was sent to school since his BM was better. Next came the weekend, which was the beginning of a nightmare for the whole family.

Mar. 3-4, Lei was still not feeling well at all. Peter's loose BM came back on Saturday, which scared me so much. Because on Monday Mar. 5th, both Lei and I myself, would have to show up for work.(Lei had clients flying in from New York, while I had Monday and Tuesday mandantory orientation) No one paid much attention to Yaya until Sunday night, i felt she was a little warm.She turned out to have a slight fever on Monday morning, but we had to, after discussing and discussing, sent her to school after administratering some Mortrin. Poor girl. Then Tuesday, Lei took her to work for half a day and stayed home with her for the afternoon. On Wednesday, she was much better and i took her at noon from school to check with the doctor that she was OK. Then on Thursday morning, Peter was found to be warm. I stayed home again, with the baby, he was active playing, though seemed to be bother by his month somehow. We thought he was just teething, therefore sent him back to school the next day. 10 minutes after i stepped into my office, I got a call from the daycare, Peter was having a high fever. Oh, my god! I had to go and pick him up and took him home. This time, the fever was so tough that nothing seemed to be able to break it. Then in the afternoon, out little baby, developed a seizure. I was so mad at myself and felt so hurt for my baby, that i decided, no matter what i would stay with him until he was all well. Well, his fever still came and went, despite the fact he was put on antibiotics right away after being diagnosed ear infection and we kept offering Tylenol and Motrin. Therefore, we ended up in the ER on Mar. 12th. After so many screamings and testing, he was found to have flu besides the ear infection. Feeling a little relieved, i felt sick right after we got home and began to have a fever ever since. The Tuesday and Wesdnesday, sick me and Peter stayed home together and went through the darkest time of our life. When both of us began to recover, it was late Wednesday afternoon already. We let our boy stay home with me for an extra day, then last Friday, we finally, got out of the house and went to school. maybe he was too bored staying home with me, maybe he has began to realize that the place was safe, he actually had a better day in the daycare. While me, felt so lucky after over a week that i was able to go to work, on a Friday. :) ---This is our story, for this period. Both Lei and I had concluded that we went through the hardest time of life. Both of us were so frustrated that we needed to, but we could not make it to work; we were so worried about our kids, their well-being as well as accomdation to the new school; but at the same time, we were so exhausted and out of control of the situation. Anyway, life will go on and hopefully we will be able to settle down to our happy life.
