Emergency.
Help needed urgently. See below for details.
It’s 8:00 p.m. on Wednesday night. Alexis has mastitis (again), and is basically unable to do anything except breastfeed lying down. Laelia has had five or six doctor’s appointments in the last three days, depending on how you count, and at least three (or four) of them were related to her getting her orthopedic shoes, which hurt her terribly. She basically cries the entire time she’s awake. Sometimes she calms down a little in my arms, so I have been carrying her around almost all day, with breaks to make food for Alexis and myself.
I took the day off to take care of Alexis and baby, but between this, mastitis round 1, Alexis tweaking her neck, and everything else I’ve missed a lot of work in the last month, and it’s getting to the point where I can’t really miss anymore. What we really could use is someone who could come over tomorrow (Thursday) and help take care of Alexis and baby. Are you that person? Email me at shroud41 (at) gmail.com with your availability and phone number. I think ideally we would love to have somone from about 9-6, but we would be happy with whatever we can get.
Thanks,
charles
