Don't have too much attention to give away anyways... my bus (Swedish pronunciation please: the u is supposed to sound like it does in `cruise´ not like in auto bus. so read it like buise) my baby boy has been sick for forever now, 2 weeks to be precise. He has something called broncholitis which is very common for little babies to get and it's a respiratory infection that makes it hard for him to breath and he coughs a lot and as if that wasn't enough he got an ear infection too and when he finally got better thanks to antibiotics he got a fever again yesterday which is caused by a virus according to the nice doctor at St Justine children's hospital here in Montreal.
He's so big now my bus... he'll be 8 months on Sunday and soon he's been here in the outside world as long as he was in my belly and then time will just move so fast that before we know it he will be taller than me and have a girlfriend (or boyfriend if that's what he fancies). He's already so big and he falls asleep by himself in his own bed nowadays and he eats all sorts of food and he creeps (which is a form of crawling where the belly doesn't leave the floor) and he pulls himself up to standing against furniture. He is 23cm taller now than when he was born and he's more than doubled his weight.
It's so hard when he's sick because to see him in pain or being so uncomfortable you just want to do anything to make it better but then when he cries and cries for hours and just want you to walk around with him and it's 3.30 am it's hard to handle. Me and hubby have been fighting an awful lot while he's been sick mainly due to sleep deprivation and generally being sick and tired of hearing him scream and just wanting him to sleep so we can get sleep. The bus has turned out to be quite a terrorist, a sleep terrorist that is, we joke about him being a very good torturer all he has to do is cry for hours while keeping you awake and you'll tell him anything he wants to know just to make it stop.
Yesterday was valentines day but instead of doing something romantic me and the hubby and bus was at the hospital trying to figure out how come bus had a fever of 39° when he's eating antibiotics. We did get awesome special treatment at the hospital and the doctor asked us repeatedly if we worked there cause she had never before seen anyone with status 4 (not serious can wait status) being seen within 30 minutes. We think it's because we've been there 3 times in 2 weeks and we've seen the same nurse at the nurses station every time, he sent us home the first time and the second time another nurse realized bus had low oxygen level in his blood so I think he felt bad for sending us home the first time. Anyways he recognized us and sent us straight into a private room waiting for the doctor and then sent the doctor straight to us. We got quite a few evil looks from the packed waiting room when we left, I don't think they liked us getting special treatment. We loved it though and now we shall expect it every time we go there and be very disappointed the next time.
It's snowing here today for like the 45th day this winter or something like that I think we've gotten close to 3 m of snow this winter and every time it falls they make us dig out our cars from the massive snow piles and move them back and forth so they can plough the street and try to find new places to dump the snow (2 of the 5 Montreal dump sites are full already). I had to drag my ass out of bed at 6.30 this morning to move the car so I wouldn't have the car towed and get a nice $93 ticket.
Well that's it for me for today I guess. The bus just woke up and I have to see how much fever he has now.
Later

Snuttan, det gör ont o höra att din bus är sjuk. (gulligt med bus) Är det kronisk bronkit? Måste ju kolla om jag hänger med i engelskan. Du får pussa han 1000 ggr från mig. Det kanske inte gör han frisk, men det ger dig god babysmak på läpparna. =) Jag sitter här med en liten fundering också.. du får skälla lite på JF för att han inte växte upp på en varm söderhavsö eller ngt som du kunde glassa runt på istället för o häva bort snö från bilen. Iofs så kanske du inte skulle ha ett så bra sjukhus med 30 minuters väntetid om du bodde där. Tufft val! Sebbe bor ju tillfälligt i Columbus Ohio just nu och han är där till maj tror jag. uhhh, jag önskar att han var på ett varmt ställe och det blir inget besök där för min del. Jag väntar med besök tills han ska till australien. det är ovant att han är borta, men jag har så fullt upp nu att jag inte hinner tänka. Jag antar att det märks på fler sätt. Det är inte direkt så att jag hör av mig ofta och jag har fortfarande inte skickat över min tråkiga överaskning som skulle varit en rolig överaskning. Hmm det där lät tokigt. Jag får nog försöka ta tag i det där så att du slipper undra vad jag menar. Hälsa din mamma att nu har jag sökt jobb på Unionen, fastän de har anställningsstopp. Jag tänker börja där...fastän de har anställningsstopp. Det går va? Vem var det som sa att man bara skulle börja gå upp till ett kontor och sen se till att plocka ut lön? Jag behöver en kurs av den killen!
1000 kramar till er, ni underbara föräldrar!
