  • Q and I taken out by some sort of GI bug. No work, hospitals for us today. :( #
  • They're letting #sickboy try oral antibiotics this afternoon. This is a huge step in the right direction. Yay! #
  • How nice of Q to go down and stay down for a nap while I pulled myself to the table for an important telecon. #
  • And just like that, they're sending #sickboy home. Amazing what a difference a few days makes. Huzzah! #
  • Frankly, I'm surprised that they've released him, but he's recovered lots of motion & lost a lot of pain. He'll be on oral abx for a while. #
  • Happy. Might even try some solid food for the first time in a day and a half. #
  • #sickboy is now home & parked in front of Sim City on laptop. Apparently he was suffering withdrawal. I think he's earned some screen time. #
  • Thanks to EVERYONE who has sent along notes of encouragement, visited, and supported us over the past 2 weeks. Super appreciated! #sickboy #
  • That in-between time when you don't know if you're hungry or nauseated. Yeah, that. #
  • Norwalk virus. There's rumoured to be a Norwalk outbreak at the hospital, which fits what Q and I have had these past 2 days. #sickboys #
  • I just hope Aidan doesn't get it. We've been super-vigilant about hand-washing, but we were like that in the hospital too. #
  • Despite being happy to see my face, work is paranoid about the Norwalk exposure and I'm being sent home. Guilt-free day off? Doubtful. #

  • Here's a thought: bake the real cost of your staff into your prices, enforce a no-tipping policy. #otc @CBCStephenQuinn #
  • Yes. RT @vancitychic: @AnthonyFloyd Really, You'd pay 20% more at least on all restaurant food just so you don't have to leave a tip? #
  • .@vancitychic No. I expect exceptional service all the time. If I don't get it, I won't come back. #
  • If restaurant workers don't bitch about big tips, then they have no right to bitch about no tips. #GiveAndTake #tipping #
  • The handover is complete and the night shift is now on duty. #sickboy #lifeatthehospital #
  • So Aidan's teacher (FI), when asked for some work for him to do in the hospital told us to just go to in-hospital resource centre (not FI) #
  • I am so unimpressed with this woman. Between her staunch BCTF bullshit and apparent disregard for the kids, it's crazy. #
  • So, time to talk to the principal, I guess. Nothing like being "that parent". #

  • And the parade of health workers starts anew. It's a new day, a new shift, a new nurse. #sickboy #
  • It amazes me. We've been here a week now – 14 shifts – and only had a repeat nurse once. #
  • Due to the IV in his foot, Aidan is using a wheelchair to get around. Good thing he still has a sore hand — he'd be racing in the halls! #

  • Sigh. Regression in #sickboy #039;s infection means more surgery this afternoon and an extended hospital stay. #
  • Not as urgent as last time, but when the decision is made, they move quickly: Aidan's in surgery right now, few hrs before any more updates. #
  • Aidan's out of surgery. They found infection in the bones of his wrist. He will require at least another 6 weeks of IV antibiotics. #sickboy #
  • At this pt, we don't know how much will be done through outpatient services, but we think it's likely we'll be living here for 1 more wk min #
  • So, it's a long road ahead for all of us. Thanks for the ongoing support. #sickboy #
  • Other than no feeling in his bad hand (due to a nerve block) Aidan's doing pretty good post-op. Supper & arguing abt prime numbers! #sickboy #
  • .@DanielOong Well, it's not so much arguing as trying to figure out the factors to see if a number is prime. It's a good distraction :) #

  • Back from ER again. 5 hrs yesterday, 7 today, back tomorrow for more tests, expect another 5-6 hrs :( #sickboy #
  • Thanks for the support, everyone. It's like our own little episode of House right now, but he's not doing too badly at the moment. #sickboy #
  • Sigh. Pain and apprehension is waking him every few hours. #sickboy #
  • The period between the end of the meds and the next dose hasn't proven to be particularly enjoyable. #sickboy #
  • Sick child just asked, w/o a hint of condescension, if all we had when I was a kid was puppets and a cardboard box for a TV. #getoffmylawn #
  • Brought #sickboy home between tests. He crawled up on the couch and was _literally_ asleep within 30 seconds. :( #

  • And keep them physically active for 3 hrs/day. In my efforts to pick myself up off the floor, I missed the definition of "physically active" #
  • It really bothers me when ppl refer to "screen time" and suggest kids should just get out and play. Hey? Guess what? Some of that *is* play! #
  • Our "House" episode continues. No one has any idea what's going on. Sigh. #sickboy #
  • After three days of visiting ER for various tests and such, A gets pain meds and a collective shrug from the doctors. #sickboy #frustrated #
  • I'm happy that we're treating the pain now, but the shrug is … infuriating. How are we supposed to deal with "Uh, dunno."!? #sickboy #
  • Thanks again, everyone, for your support. We don't have any family in Vancouver, so your well wishes have been very helpful. #sickboy #
  • Me: "But I'm shaking *your* weiner!" G: "That's what *she* said!" #overtired #
  • Grumble. Codeine, acetaminophen, ibuprofen. Still in pain, unable to get comfortable to sleep. Going to be a long night. #sickboy #
  • Alternate sleeping arrangements in effect. This means I'm lying on the couch, listening to the HP1 audiobook. And uncomfortable moaning. #
  • 5 hrs of tossing & turning. I think the amount of "sleep" he's had tonight (so far) is measured in minutes. #sickboy #
  • Oh, hello. Rough night, but we managed 5 or 6 hours sleep. #sickboy #
  • I'm at work trying to front load on caffeine and sugar. Today's productivity forecast: cloudy with a chance of narcolepsy. #
  • Joy. Back to emerg on instructions from family doctor. This will mark 4 straight days at the ER. #sickboy #
  • Finally admitting #sickboy Going to start IV antibiotics, more tests. #
  • This? Sucks. #
  • Off for a new test. Ultrasound today. Finally gave him something for the pain — and he's starting to perk up as a result. #sickboy #
  • Still no idea what's going on with #sickboy but he's been admitted to BCCH, started on fluids and antibiotics. Likely to be in for few days. #
  • Still a bit frustrated that it's taken 4 days of ER visits to get to this point. Reason seems to be "unknown cause" confuses ER. #sickboy #
  • Scary, but happy sight. #sickboy http://t.co/XBsqzjk2 #
  • #sickboy heading into surgery tonight to open up his hand. Good times. #
  • Things sure moved quickly tonight. Aidan's hand ballooned quickly and just as quickly he was whisked off to the OR. Waiting, waiting… #
  • Despite the concern for his brother, the 3 yr old went to sleep tonight without any fight. Small victories, I'll take them. #
  • Turns out Aidan now has multiple infections: the one in his hand, and a blood infection too. He's going to be in BCCH for at least 10 days. #
  • He's sleeping a fair bit but apparently in much less pain. The trick over the next little while will be preventing further infections. #
  • This, sadly, means canceling his birthday party and some other activities. #
  • Thanks, again, to everyone for your ongoing support. It helps. #
  • We're not sure of the initial source of the infection. He didn't have any apparent bites, scratches, or any other wounds. #
  • If anyone would like to send good wishes towards our #sickboy there's good wifi here and I will happily show him the @AidanFloyd feed! #
  • Note to unsuspecting nurses: the gag reflex is strong with this one, and if he says he doesn't like the taste, stand well back. #ewww #
  • Thanks to everyone who sent @AidanFloyd notes today. He got a big kick out of people who he knows and doesn't know wishing him well!! #
  • Although I am a little worried about his ego. How do these people know me? I must be famous! :p #sickboy #
  • OMG this hospital cot violates several Geneva Conventions. #
  • The torturous cot has a Machiavellian purpose: it keeps parents awake enough to monitor beeps and sundry from the machines for the nurse! #
  • Whew. 2 hrs of surgeon, nurses, med student, nursing student. The surgeon was unable to disguise his surgeonness, and wasn't really trying. #
  • A dressing change, physio, and rounds (with more students!) still to come. So busy but not busy at all. Weird. #sickboy #
