Mommy or Sr. Recruiting Analyst - which comes first?!?!?!

I have definitely struggled since Monday on what hat to where....my mommy hat or my analyst hat....I am still trying to figure it out.
Monday morning at about 3 am, Carson woke up with a very high fever and vomiting and it's all be down hill from there. We are now going on almost 72 hours with no improvement...we have loss of appetite, loss of just about 2 lbs, no drinking, and fevers that range from 100 to 104.8. Did I mention, my child won't take any medicine without it being in milk. Therefore, we can't get meds in him so he is lifeless...just laying and sleeping...and fussy...and wanting mommy (especially tonight) Obviously, I have had about 8 hours of sleep the last three nights (4 being last night thanks to Nena who showed up at our door at 10 to spend the night to allow me to get some sleep.) The dr. is telling us that it is a virus but with no other symptoms or illness, I think they are just telling me that cause they don't know. They have told me to keep doing what we are doing and if it gets to 105 to call or take to ER.
In the meantime, this is my HUGE week at work for my project. Of course, of all the weeks this is the one week that I CAN'T be away from work. Fortunately, Monday I was able to work from home with Carson and then Cathy took two days off to help us yesterday and today. Did I mention, Cory is on call this week so he can't be out of work either. So with a lot of convincing Julie is going to help us out tomorrow and then if I have to be out on Friday, I can. Hopefully, he will be better by Friday. If not, they are going to run some blood work and possibly some tests to determine what is going on in that little body.
I told Cory last night, that I felt that I have gone back a 16 months when we brought Carson home and I was sick. I am absolutely amazed at how I am able to function at home and at work with everything going on. So when I crash and burn (probably next week) please think of me :)
