igi's sick again

actually it started yesterday. my sitter called me in the office requesting if igi can be picked up since he's having a bad case of diarrhea. i finished my work and in half an hour i was heading home. my poor son, pooping so frequent and he wouldn't eat anything except his pedialyte freezer pops and spoonful of rice.

then this morning, i had to wake up at 6am to call one of the costco warehouses in the northeast to check if my shipment made it on time for my roadshow and alas! only 1 made it and the other 3 that was coming from a different location are missing. aaaargh! and would you believe that a few minutes after i put down the phone my officemate Denise was calling me and telling me that our boss MK called them up at the same time i was on the phone with the receiving manager and asking them what happened to the 3 pallets. so from then on, i was on the phone with Costco, my broker and Denise and Ivan at 6am! talk about dedication to work and this is not even paid.

at around 7:45am, i called my boss and let him know that i can't come to work because my son is sick. i was even ready to listen to his sermon about reliability and no room for flexibility if cases like this arise. but surprisingly, he was nice and just talked to me about the costco mishap and what we should do. but of course, once we put the phone down, i don't know what he's gonna say to my officemates.

good thing i was able to get a schedule with Inigo's new doctor so she could check him up and see what's wrong with him. at 10:45am we were in the doctor's office and we're glad that the Dr. L assured us that it's nothing serious and we should just give him the BRAT diet (banana, rice, applesauce and toast) to stop the diarrhea and she also advised us to continue breastfeeding Inigo and not to introduce the bottle anymore as it may cause more trouble when it comes to weaning him.

after the doctor's appointment, we decided to have lunch at tony roma's to take advantage of our discount coupon. i had the full slap again and a glass of ice cold strawberry lemonade...tsalap!

well, at least everything is fine now with my son, the diarrhea has lessened and that he's starting to eat again. for now, that's what matters most.

my work...we'll see tomorrow =)
