XP UPDATE about "I need to vent about my family"

Thank you all for the replies ladies!  I really appreciate the support and here's the original post I posted in my BMB just a few minutes ago:

"So my DS has been sick for three weeks (I'm sadly not even exaggerating).  Turns out he has gone through two different head colds now (just got diagnosed with the second one today), and . . . has thrush (but luckily we caught it early).

He's on prescription meds for the thrush, and bc he's been so sick for so long, we can use tylenol as our drug of our choice for the next 7-14 days (yes, you read that right, the doctor thinks he might not make a full recovery for possible a week or TWO).  That means, that if that lasts that long, that he'll have been sick for five weeks straight.

PLEASE send me T&P for my nerves, and T&P for my little guy to feel better.  No wonder he didn't want to roll around any more, struggled to eat, was constantly waking up and fussy (which I had originally attributed to being overtired).  He never had a fever, and didn't seem in pain (like with the first cold), so of course I feel horrible at the idea of him having possibly been miserable this whole time bc I wasn't giving him meds till yesterday (I didn't want to medicate him unnecessarily just so I could sleep ;P). 

Hopefully it only go up from here!"

AND I am glad to report that I WON'T have to be moving my Dad this weekend from his assisted living, after having talked with his case manager at the VA.  And even better news - DH has really stepped up.  He means business about making these past few months up to me, and has not only helped me take DS to the doctor this morning, but also helped me run errands that took three hours!  Finally, when we got home, I got HOURS of sleep and feel so much better!  How everything went from absolute burnt out feeling yesterday - to feeling refreshed and hopeful today, I have no idea . . . but I am so grateful for the change!
