valleys are not flat, from Martin

cesta udolim neni jen rovina
valleys are not flat..

Minuly tyden byl jak na horske draze. Reakce meho tela na antibiotika a jine "dobroty" se menila z hodiny na hodinu. Vedle me posteje je standartne na stojanu zavesena 1 az 3 lahve hrdlem dolu a tak se smejeme tomu, ze tu mame soukromy bar. Nektere z dobrot jsou natolik silne, ze pak o sobe nekolik hodin nevim, odpocivam, spim a vubec netusim co se okolo me deje. Jednou se mi dokonce stalo, ze jsem nedokoncil sms kamaradovi a jak mi prst sjizdel po klavesnici, poslal jsem mu krome zacatku zpravy i nekonecnou radu pismenek, ktere na sebe vubec nenavazovaly a pak mi prst sjel na tlacitko odeslat.. lecba probiha podle predpokladu doktoru a horecky a jine "mensi" vedlejsi ucinky jsou proste soucasti, se kterou nejde nic udelat.


Last week feels like a ride on a roller coaster. From hour to hour there were changes in how my body responded to the different antibiotics and other "juices".
Usually i have between 1-3 bottles hanging upside down above my night stand and we joke that i have my own private bar.. some of the goodies i get are so strong that the next few hours i am in bed, resting, sleeping with no idea what is happening around me.. One time i fell asleep typing an sms to a friend and as my finger moved across the screen, there was a endless line of letters and after two lines of non-sense my finger hit "send".. the treatment continues to be like the doctors expected and fevers and other "minor" side effects are just part of the treatment.

Bohuzel, tak jak se ja dnes diky Bohu citim silny a bez vetsich bolesti, moje rodina bojuje s dalsimi zdravotnimi komplikacemi.
Ucitelka ze skolky zavolala ve ctvrtek Jane at si ji prijde vyzvednout, protoze se po obede probudila s teplotou. hned vecer se k tomu jeste pridala strevni chripka. Vcera doktor predepsal Sofii antibiotika na 10 dni. Dneska rano mi psala Jane, ze celou noc nespala a chytla strevni chripku taky. Takze ted je panem domacnosti Mia, ktere uz jsou skoro 2 roky a ma energie na rozdavani - skace, tancuje, smeje se, leze na vsechno a vsem se plete pod nohy (to ji opravdu jde).
Tohle je opravdu test toho co fyzicky vydrzime, jake mame vztahy v rodine a s nasimi nejblizsimi prateli.

Unfortunately, as i feel good and strong with no major pain today - PRAISE GOD!- the rest of the family is fighting another battle.
Sofia's teacher called Jane on Thursday, asking her to come and pick her up because she woke up from her nap with a fever. The doctor prescribed Sofia antibiotics for the next 10days yesterday as she also had a stomach flu. This morning i got a message from Jane that she was fighting the stomach flu all night as well.
so we have our almost 2 year old Mia being in charge of the moment - she is the only one now who has energy to jump, dance, laugh, climb and get in the way as she can do really well. this is really testing our physical limits, our family ties and relationships with clost friends.


meli jsme vyborny plan jak se postarat o vsechno behem meho pobytu v nemocnici, ale na to, ze 3/4 rodiny budou nemocni najednou, tak na to jsme se nepripravili.
muzete se prosim modlit za moje holky?


our plan on handling the situation with me being in the hospital didn't consider this scenario.
would you please pray for my girls?


Diky,
Martin
