Throat

Nauber's antibiotics were causing diarrhea so he stopped taking them. We will see if his throat was far enough along to have healed, or if there is a relapse.

School is getting busy. I actually met with my GA prof and have a task to complete. He wants me to write a business plan for an idea he had. Not sure if it is official GA work or not, but whatever. I am in an entrepreneur class this semester, so it is possible I could have project partners help me with it!

Lack of Severity

It was tonsillitis again, as it was in January, but not nearly as advanced. Last time, he got antibiotics orally, intravenously, and injected, plus a trip to the ear-nose-and-throat guy. This trip only required the IV. (Take home prescription both times, too.) I am not sure if it the fear of death that happened in January but not this time, but he is much more resistant to taking the antibiotics this time around. Ronny says I should stop babying him and let him skip the pills if he wants. Since I am the one that will have to spend another entire day stuck watching him get treated at the ER, I'd rather get it cleared up. I am assuming that if he had insurance, their first words would be tonsillectomy. The doctor back home in Brazil apparently told him once that the tonsil is "catching" the bacteria and viruses before they can get into his lungs, so he would get sicker, more often, if they were removed. So, here we sit...

Hotter and Grumpier

Nauber seems to acclimating to the new apartment. He is not as angry anymore.
Unfortunately, he is now literally feverish. It appears to be a repeat of the throat infection he had caught a few months ago. See January's episode. Resistant to going to the hospital. Not sure what will break him of that this time.

And I missed posting on Friday. Oddly, I kept thinking there was something I forgot, but completely did not think of it until today.

Hot and Grumpy

We finished moving into the new apartment on Sunday. This whole week has been about 95 degrees. Since the new place has central air, Ronny and I took advantage of the amenities to avoid being horribly uncomfortable. Nauber, of course, 'hates' A/C so was in a horribly grumpy mood all week because he wanted the windows open. He also said it was too hot.

He claims to hate everything about the apartment. Mind you everyone else loves everything about the apartment. The people who helped us move all said it is such a great improvement over where we were before.
