tony’s super sick again and we have a performance this week. we think it’s just a respiratory virus, but damn, it’s a nasty one. his range dropped at least an octave and it sounds so strained and dry when he sings his song. he’s been losing his voice on and off for the past couple of days. even when he can talk, it’s extra scratchy and you can hear how swollen his throat is. he also just looks super sick, his nose and the place under it is all chafed, and he’s pale and flushed. he even has some slight dark circles, and when i looked closely at him yesterday, his eyes are very glossy and red, and his sinuses are so swollen his face looks puffy. the other day we were doing a group number and in the middle of it he started hacking uncontrollably. when he caught his breath he swiped his chapped nose across his sleeve and asked in his weak, heavily thickened voice, “can i please go get water?”. and then trudged out to go get a drink.
