The Sick Dad

Posted on 02/03/201904/19/2025 by Mark

Last weekend, I was sick or actually let me say, I had a coughing explosion and all I wanted to do was sleep!  But I couldn’t sleep because my wife works from home and Saturday was one of her work days. Niko knew I wasn’t feeling well and kept using his play doctor kit on me. On Sunday, I still had the coughs and even though Nina was off that day, she uses that day to cook.

As much as I wanted to ask her if I could go upstairs and sleep on Saturday and Sunday, I didn’t. I just sat myself on the sofa, bundled up because I was cold, and waited for the clock to tick for Niko’s nap! I still did the nightime stuff with Niko; that includes bathing and feeding him, getting him dressed in his pajamas, brushing his teeth, and finally almost 90 minutes after we started, I kiss him goodnight and place him in his crib for sleeping. You know, I am so glad he sleeps thru the night! Usually, after I am done with Niko, I go downstairs to clean up, eat, and relax for a few minutes, but since I wasn’t feeling well, I just went downstairs to clean up and then I was done and ready for bed; or maybe it was the meds telling me to be done.

Today, I am am feeling much better. Still have a little cough but not as bad as last week. I sure am glad because tomorrow I start a new position at the bank and I need to be well.
