The Non-Immune Dad

Posted on 02/15/202602/15/2026 by Mark

Well, I am sick as whatever Niko and Nina had, I got it. Friday was the worst for me as I just wanted to go sleep in my bed full of tissues. I had a few works calls, but told my boss after the last one at Noon, I am logging out and going home! After that call, I had a quick lunch and then ran upstairs for a nap and didn’t get up till I heard Niko come from home school around 2:30 pm. That evening, as soon as Niko went to sleep, I did the same.

Today, though, I am feeling better, but still am not completely healed. Just have a lingering light cough.

I felt bad, because I was planning on taking Niko to a kite ice festival yesterday and the pool today. Nina ended up pooling with him yesterday.

Since I am writing about being sick, let me update you on Niko and his foot issues…

Last Tuesday, I took him to a specialist and it was just muscle spasms, and I am glad. Niko left with a walking boot and some exercises to help his foot heal. I also purchased an ankle brace and arch supports that evening from the amazing Amazon. Everything should be back to normal in a few weeks. As we were leaving the office, Niko was very happy and told me he could run a marathon. I think his most memorable part was getting pushed in a wheelchair for an x-ray.
