The Husband is sick. I don't know if I ever feel more helpless than when a loved one of mine is sick. I never know what to do unless the person is undeniably sick or injured and HAS to be seen by a doctor. Everything that is going on with him points to some sort of influenza or stomach/'flu'...he has the chills, nausea, a bit of a cough, fever. Most of the time I wouldn't think twice about letting him 'ride it out,' but with his underlying kidney disease, I don't know if we are supposed to aggressively treat any illness. Of all of the questions we have asked his health 'team,' we never asked about 'normal' illnesses and what he should do if he came down with one. We will call his doctor's office in the morning and get through this mini crisis...and when we meet with his nephrologist next week, you can be sure we will be asking many questions.
